空气和气体处理产品、技术与服务提供商Howden公司更新了其Ventsim CONTROL软件，新增了“按需”矿井制冷解决方案。软件升级后会连接Howden或第三方硬件设备，能对设备进行远程监控、控制，并能对气流进行自动加热和制冷。这意味着用户可以对温度进行深度监测，并更加有效地排出制冷空气。据Howden称，该技术能够提升通风安全性，提高生产效率，并降低成本。Ventsim CONTROL解决方案还提供了三维建模功能，有助于用户根据模拟结果更好地预测和控制气流。

Howden updates Ventsim CONTROL software with ‘on demand’ mine cooling solution

英文：

Howden has launched the latest update to its Ventsim CONTROL software, featuring an “on demand” solution for mine ventilation cooling.

Software connected to hardware devices from Howden or other third parties remotely monitors, controls and automates airflow heating and cooling. This means users can monitor temperatures at deeper levels, and push back cooled air more efficiently. The technology provides safer ventilation that is more productive and cost effective, according to Howden.

The Ventsim CONTROL solution also offers a 3D modelling capability within the software, which helps users to better predict and control air flows based on what is evidenced in the simulation.

The technology will be featured at the Ventsim User Conference from March 16-18, 2022.

Hugo Dello Sbarba, Director of Ventsim and Sales Mining at Howden, said: “Our on demand update to Ventsim CONTROL aligns with trends we are seeing in the industry towards deeper mines which require cooled air to achieve higher standards of health and safety for workers. Currently, many mines put a cooling plant at surface level and cool air regardless of its destination or where it’s needed as there aren’t intelligent controls to pinpoint the localised need, which is often at deeper levels. These new controls ensure the cool air goes where it is required, saving operating and energy costs.

“The improved efficiency supports the move to more sustainable operations, and the health and safety benefit allows mines to adopt higher standards in advance of incoming regulations.”
