Abstract

Ventilation is a critical task in underground mining operation. Ventilation controls the air movement, its amount, and direction which provides adequate fresh air to miners for a safe and comfortable working environment. Fans, which provide air flow to different faces of a mine, have a great role of impact in ventilation systems. In this paper study has been carried out on the different components of an axial fan and their failures which is affecting its performance. For that Blade failure, Shaft failure, Bearing holding U-bolts, pitching angle, Blade chord angle, Tip clearance, Erosion and corrosion parameters have been considered.
