    (EDP Sciences, 2020) Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Diakun, Inna; Ruban, Vitalii; Skosyriev, Viktor; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.
    EN: Increase of operating efficiency of mine energy complexes is an actual scientific and technical problem. Systems that utilize energy of low- potential sources and have freon-steam turbines are suggested to be included in mine energy complexes. Principles of selection of freons as working fluids in energy systems are suggested in the paper. Usage of some thermal equations of state for defining thermal and physical properties of freons is analyzed. Equation of isentropic process for the thermal Redlich–Kwong equation of state is obtained. Calculation of energy efficiency of a system with a freon-steam turbine for selected variants of usage of working fluids is performed. A calculation method of thermodynamic parameters that are necessary for energy conversion efficiency estimation of specific freons in a system of useful utilization of energy is developed. Analysis of results indicates that usage of ozone-safe and fire-safe freons in energy utilization systems of low-potential sources with a possibility of utilization of additional waste heat, which was not used in the past, allows increasing the operating efficiency of mine energy complexes.

    Improving the Technology of Using Freon-Steam Turbines in Mine Power Complexes
    (IOP Publishing, 2022) Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Slobodiannykova, Inna; Gupalo, Olena V.
    ENG: Mining power complexes can significantly reduce the cost of production of mining enterprises and increase their competitive position in the relevant market. To solve the urgent problem of further improving the operation of mine energy complexes, it is proposed to include in their composition installations for the useful use of energy from low-potential sources with a freon-steam turbine, which implement the thermodynamic Rankine cycle. The article considers the features of the organization of the Rankine cycle depending on the properties of freons. When choosing freons, the emphasis is placed on the use of strictly ozone-safe freons that meet modern requirements for normalizing the value of the global warming potential. The previously proposed method for calculating the thermodynamic parameters necessary for evaluating useful action’s coefficient of using specific freons in a useful energy recovery equipment has been improved. The calculation of the energy efficiency of the equipment with a freon-steam turbine for the selected options for the use of freons is performed. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the use of ozone-safe freons with low values of the global warming potential in installations for the utilization of energy from low-potential sources will improve the operation of mine energy complexes.

    New Working Fluids for the Use of Heat Secondary Sources in Mining Technologies
    (IOP Publishing, 2023) Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Gupalo, Olena V.; Podoliak, Kostiantyn
    ENG: Production cost of mining enterprises can be significantly reduced when using secondary heat. A large volume of secondary heat sources has a temperature potential of no higher than 50ºС. To generate additional electricity using secondary heat it has been proposed to use installations with the Rankine thermodynamic cycle in mining enterprises. The paper aim is to study the thermodynamic efficiency of using R-1234yf and R-744 in the equipment, which uses the secondary heat of mining technologies for evaporation of these working fluids. R-1234yf is a freon that belongs to the class of hydrofluoroolefins and has a much lower level of global warming potential than other ozone-depleting substances. R-744 is carbon dioxide, which belongs to a natural, non-toxic and non-flammable working substance. It has been determined that the thermodynamic efficiencies of using R-1234yf and R-744 are 10% and 6.3%, respectively. The thermodynamic efficiency has been calculated for the temperature range from 50º to 20ºC, which is typical for a large volume of secondary heat sources in mining technologies.

    Prediction of Fuel Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emission when Replacing Gaseous Fuels with Renewable Hydrogen or Their Mixture
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024) Gupalo, Olena V.; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Kabakova, Liudmyla; Kolienko, Anatoliy; Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Kulikov, Andrii
    ENG: The paper is devoted to predicting changes in fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions when industrial equipment is converted to heating with renewable hydrogen or a mixture of it with other gaseous fuels, such as natural gas. The authors developed a simplified methodology that is appropriate for assessing changes in the energy consumption of equipment and the environmental impact of fuel replacement at the stage preceding the equipment reconstruction. The peculiarity of the methodology is that it allows the calculation of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions when fuel replacement is accompanied by the implementation of measures aimed at improving the energy efficiency of equipment. The methodology can be used for heating and thermal furnaces in metallurgy and mechanical engineering, units for heat treatment of raw materials in the mining and processing industries, heating devices in the food industry, and water and steam boilers. In the example of replacing natural gas with its mixture with renewable hydrogen of different compositions, it is shown that the calculation error using the proposed methodology in comparison with the results obtained by mathematical modeling of fuel combustion, gas flow and heat transfer in this furnace does not exceed 1.5%.

    The Use of Secondary Heat Resources during the Accumulation of Compressed Air in Closed Mining Workings
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024) Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Slobodiannykova, Inna; Gupalo, Olena V.; Podoliak, Kostiantyn
    ENG: The article considers the possibility of energy accumulation in mining workings in order to reduce the consumption of fossil organic fuel by the mining enterprise itself. For this purpose, the authors propose to accumulate compressed air in closed mine workings using secondary heat resources to generate additional electricity. The energy management of mining enterprises can be equipped with freon steam turbines which implement the Rankine thermodynamic cycle to obtain additional electricity from secondary heat. To measure the efficiency of the process, the air mast be compressed isothermally. The compression must be carried out in several stages, and the air must be cooled after each stage. Taking into account the development of energy storage technologies in the form of compressed air in specially prepared closed mining workings, the required air pressure can be from 70 to 90 at. The article assesses the possibility of using a secondary heat resource during air compression at mining enterprises. It is shown that the use of freon steam turbines during the accumulation of compressed air in underground pressure accumulators increases the subsequent production of electricity during the operation of the air turbine by 7.6% during the day.
