Effectiveness of triggered barriers against explosions in auxiliary-ventilated workings

Objective

To investigate the performance of a category of triggered water barriers (the Belgian triggered system) in suppressing explosions in coal mines.

At present, it is envisage that the Belgian barrier will be used mainly in blind ends, eg in drivages.

It was proposed to study changes in its effectiveness as a function of increasing distance between the head end and the barrier, since this distance is variable and may affect barrier performance.
