Techno-economic feasibility assessment of a diesel exhaust heat recovery system to preheat mine intake air in remote cold climate regions

Underground mines in Arctic and Subarctic regions require the preheating of mine intake air during winter. The cold fresh air of those remote areas can be as severe as −40 °C and commonly needs to be heated to around +3 °C. This extensive amount of heating is usually provided by employing large-size...
