Control technology for diesel equipment in the underground mining environment - a review of selected topics. Final report 23 August 1978-31 January 1979
In reviewing the control of emission from diesel engine powered equipment used in underground mining, the following fields of interest were explored: hydrogen as fuel; lubricating oil as a source of particulates; applicability of stationary source scrubbers; worldwide diesel exhaust scrubbers; instrumentation technology for measurement of NO/sub 2/; control of emission through application of sensors and microprocessors; use of fuel additives; technology transfer of marine diesel practice; technology required to use four-stroke, aftercooled, turbocharged, direct injection engines; and oxidation and reduction catalysts for diesel engine exhausts. Recommendations for research and a bibliography and lists of references are included.
