EN 14983:2007 (E) 5 Introduction Firedamp drainage is a technical process for selected gas removal, the purpose of which is t

26、o reduce the risks presented by inflammable gas and air mixtures. Firedamp drainage is therefore a measure for preventive explosion protection. In the mining industry, firedamp is drained from the underground workings of gassy mines, from boreholes and abandoned mine workings to ensure that mine wor

27、kers are not exposed to the risks associated with the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere at their place of work. In this case, the explosion risk results from unacceptable accumulations of firedamp occurring in the waste areas and cavities left in the in the rock strata after the coal has been ex

28、tracted from the coal seam. In such cases, the need to drain these accumulations, and the complexity of the drainage system, depends on the amount of firedamp produced by the coal and the likelihood of it occurring in explosive quantities in the mine roadways and coal face. Examples of situations th

29、at might cause firedamp to move in dangerous concentrations from the waste area or cavities into the mine roadways: a breakdown of the mine ventilation system or a sudden reduction in the underground atmospheric pressure. National legislation in EU coal mining member countries requires workers to be

30、 withdrawn to a safe place if firedamp levels attain a specific nationally defined value in the general body of mine air. Firedamp drainage is therefore often used in gassy mines in an attempt to ensure that the concentration of firedamp in the general body of mine air is kept well below this critic

31、al level, even during abnormal situations such as those described above. Once the accumulations of firedamp have been drained from the affected areas, it is usually discharged to the mine surface, but in some cases it is discharged into the mine return ventilation system. In systems where the fireda

32、mp is brought to the mine surface, it is discharged to the atmosphere through an earthed metallic discharge stack or pressurized and delivered to a utilisation system, such as a gas-fired boiler. In abandoned mines, firedamp drainage is used to prevent gas pressure building up and gas issuing at the

33、 surface in an uncontrolled manner, and to protect workers at an adjacent nearby mine or to allow it to be utilized, for example by burning it in a gas-fired boiler to produce heat or to generate electricity. EN 14983:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This standard specifies the requirements for equipment and prot

34、ective systems for firedamp drainage at mines. It also contains requirements for the construction and monitoring of this equipment and protective systems (see EN 1127-2). This standard does not apply to firedamp utilization systems beyond the utilization shut-off device. 2 Normative references The f

47、9-1) of the measurement device, the tripping time and the closing time of the rapid shut-off device; the response time is the time taken to achieve 90% of the final indication. 4 Equipment and protective systems for firedamp drainage 4.1 General Electrical and mechanical equipment used in firedamp d

48、rainage shall not pose an explosion risk. For this reason: equipment used in the firedamp drainage systems where flammable gas is likely to occur shall be explosion protected either Group I Category M1 or M2, or, if on the surface, Group II Category 1 or 2; where measuring equipment is in direct con

49、tact with firedamp/air concentration within the explosive range (e.g. the purity measuring instruments), it shall be category M1 ignition protected. In surface installations, Group II, Category 1 equipment may be used; the drainage system shall have a facility to allow it to be shut down, usually automatically, where the concentration of extracted firedamp in the pipework reaches a prescribed limit, taking into account the response time of the monitoring equipment and the t90-path (see Annex E).
