High-speed optical methane concentration meter with the dust compensation of mine atmosphere

Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 522, Issue 2

Abstract

We tested an optical-absorption methane concentration meter for coal mines conditions. We studied conversion characteristics and evaluated its speed performance and proposed a method of dusty coal mines air multiplicative compensation. Requirements to the development of a methane concentration meter are provided.
