The world’s deepest mines are to be found in South Africa.
Faced with the challenge of increasing demand for more ore at a cheaper cost, several mines resorted to ice technologies to manage heat at low mining levels. Modern ice cooling systems enable to achieve acceptable work conditions underground and enhance safety with productivity gains and spectacular energy savings.
To put it simply, the ice systems
– Significantly lowered the temperatures at the heart of the mine
– Drastically reduced the mass flow of water to be pumped up to surface
– Overcame the limitations of heat rejection underground
– Provided megawatts of refrigeration
– Saved pumping energy
– Enabled thermal storage
