Development, installation, and testing services for an automatic, point type thermal sensor, fire protection system on a mining dozer
Abstract
The standard design of an automatic fire protection system used in the past in logging equipment, was modified by improving the actuation device. The resultant system was installed on a crawler tractor for coal mine operations. The system was tested by fire simulation on the dozer, and continued to operate successfully after four months of in-mine endurance testing.
