- Abstract
The arising of smouldering fire of slack coal in close proximity of conveyer belt systems still cannot be prevented despite of all safety engineering. That is why it is necessary to find the source of fire at an elementary stage and detect it locally. The GESO Firefinder M is based on the technology of fibre optical distributed temperature sensing and guarantees a complete and continuing detection of any temperature anomalies along the whole conveyer belt system. Intelligent analysing software differs between normal running variation in temperature and possible fire occurrence. In case of a fire it generates an alarm even with the exact location to a permanent occupied place (mining control stand). This publication describes the system and shows some experiences.
