Sources of Heat

The main sources of heat in mine air are: 1) High temperature surface air entering the mine carrying heat from the surface. 2) Heat due to auto-compression of 1.1 KPa or 1°C per 100 meters of depth. 3) Heat from the surrounding rock due to a geothermal gradient of 2.5°C per 100 meters.

Sources of heat in Mine Air

 • High temperature of surface air


• Surface air entering the mine can carry with it some heat if the surface
temperature is high compared to the underground temperature.

• 1.1 KPa per 100 meter or 1°C per 100 meter

• Heat from rock due to geothermal gradient

• Geothermal gradient is 2.5 °C per 100 meter.


• Heat from men
