空氣和氣體處理產品、技術與服務提供商Howden公司更新了其Ventsim CONTROL軟件，新增了“按需”礦井制冷解決方案。軟件升級后會連接Howden或第三方硬件設備，能對設備進行遠程監控、控制，并能對氣流進行自動加熱和制冷。這意味著用戶可以對溫度進行深度監測，并更加有效地排出制冷空氣。據Howden稱，該技術能夠提升通風安全性，提高生產效率，并降低成本。Ventsim CONTROL解決方案還提供了三維建模功能，有助于用戶根據模擬結果更好地預測和控制氣流。

　　Howden updates Ventsim CONTROL software with ‘on demand’ mine cooling solution

　　英文：

　　Howden has launched the latest update to its Ventsim CONTROL software, featuring an “on demand” solution for mine ventilation cooling.

　　Software connected to hardware devices from Howden or other third parties remotely monitors, controls and automates airflow heating and cooling. This means users can monitor temperatures at deeper levels, and push back cooled air more efficiently. The technology provides safer ventilation that is more productive and cost effective, according to Howden.

　　The Ventsim CONTROL solution also offers a 3D modelling capability within the software, which helps users to better predict and control air flows based on what is evidenced in the simulation.

　　The technology will be featured at the Ventsim User Conference from March 16-18, 2022.

　　Hugo Dello Sbarba, Director of Ventsim and Sales Mining at Howden, said: “Our on demand update to Ventsim CONTROL aligns with trends we are seeing in the industry towards deeper mines which require cooled air to achieve higher standards of health and safety for workers. Currently, many mines put a cooling plant at surface level and cool air regardless of its destination or where it’s needed as there aren’t intelligent controls to pinpoint the localised need, which is often at deeper levels. These new controls ensure the cool air goes where it is required, saving operating and energy costs.

　　“The improved efficiency supports the move to more sustainable operations, and the health and safety benefit allows mines to adopt higher standards in advance of incoming regulations.”
