At Howden, we play a vital role in creating Mine Cooling Systems to ensure the best solutions for the mine site.

Howden's experts, with unmatched experience and reference installations, are capable of delivering the most optimal design solution.

A wide and quality portfolio is available, from Surface Bulk Air Coolers to Hard Ice Plants, that ensures business continuity and productivity of the mine site.

The water is chilled on the surface and sent to the underground works through a chilled water piping system and distributed to underground air coolers.

Primary system components:

Surface heat rejection, Surface refrigeration machine, cooling water circuit, precooling towers.

It is a mobile underground refrigeration unit for localized cooling. Spot Coolers are small refrigeration machines with cooling duties between 200kWR and 1300kWR.

Products:

Refrigeration kid, Air handling unit and Heat rejection.

The Ventsim CONTROL's Cooling on Demand (CoD) functionality allows users to monitor temperatures at deeper levels and push back cooled air more efficiently.

The Cooling on Demand aligned with trends it was seeing in the industry towards deeper mines requiring cooled air to achieve higher standards of health and safety for workers.

These new controls ensure the cool air from the cooling plants at surface levels goes where it is required, saving operating and energy costs.
