- Abstract
The article reports on the ventilation systems of underground coal mines that uses booster fans which are located using the concept of neutral point. It mentions that the neutral point occurs at the location in the system where the pressure difference between the intake and return airways are zero. It notes that the booster fans have the potential to increase the capacity and efficiency of coal mine ventilation systems.
