The practical reference book and guide to fans, ventilation and ancillary equipment with a comprehensive buyers' guide to worldwide manufacturers and suppliers. Bill Cory, well-known throughout the fans and ventilation industry, has produced a comprehensive, practical reference with a broad scope: types of fans, how and why they work, ductwork, performance standards, testing, stressing, shafts and bearings. With advances in technology, manufacturers have had to continually improve the performance and efficiency of fans and ventilation systems; as a result, improvements that once seemed impossible have been achieved. Systems now range in all sizes, shapes, and weight, to match the ever increasing applications. An important reference in the wake of continuing harmonisation of standards throughout the European Union and the progression of National and International standards. The Handbook of Fans and Ventilation is a welcome aid to both mechanical and electrical engineers. This book will help you to... •Understand how and why fans work •Choose the appropriate fan for the right job, helping to save time and money •Learn installation, operational and maintenance techniques to keep your fans in perfect working order •Discover special fans for your unique requirements •Source the most appropriate equipment manufacturers for your individual needs - Helps you select, install, operate and maintain the appropriate fan for your application, to help you save time and money - Use as a reference tool, course-book, supplier guide or as a fan/ventilation selection system - Contains a guide to manufacturers and suppliers of ventilation systems, organised according to their different styles and basic principles of operation

The purpose of the 10th US North American Mine Ventilation Symposium in Anchorage 2004 was to bring together practitioners involved in the planning and operation of underground ventilation systems, to provide a forum for debate and exchange of ideas, and to share information on the advances which have been made and consider problems which remain in the broad field of mine ventilation. The Mine Ventilation Symposium series has always been a premier forum for ventilation experts, practitioners, educators, students, regulators and manufacturers from around the world to exchange knowledge, ideas and opinions. This volume features over sixty selected technical papers from fifteen countries around the world including topics such as mine fires and explosions,case studies, diesel in underground mines, face ventilation, ventilation systems design, strata gas and control, ventilation and control systems, modeling and software development, dust generation, transport and control.
