Explosion prevention and protection in underground mines - Protective systems - Part 4: Automatic extinguishing systems for road headers

This document lays down requirements for automatic explosion extinguishing systems for roadheader
machines (selective cut heading machines) in roadheader drivages where these systems automatically detect
the initial phase of a firedamp explosion which has been initiated by the cutter head of a roadheader machine
and extinguish it at the roadhead in such a way that the roadway drivage team is not put at risk.
This document does not lay down any requirements for the fighting of fires at the roadhead.
The automatic explosion extinguishing system for roadheaders is an autonomous protective system designed
in accordance with Directive 94/9/EC.

Explosionsschutz in untertägigen Bergwerken - Schutzsysteme - Teil 4: Automatische Explosionslöschanlagen für Teilschnittmaschinen

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an automatische Explosionslöschanlagen für Teilschnittmaschinen (TSM) in Streckenvortrieben fest, die vom Schneidkopf einer TSM gezündete Grubengasexplosionen in der Entstehungsphase automatisch erkennen und im Vorortbereich so ablöschen, dass die Vorortbelegschaft nicht gefährdet wird.
Dieses Dokument legt keine Anforderungen für die Bekämpfung von Bränden im Vorortbereich fest.
Die automatische Explosionslöschanlage für TSM ist ein autonomes Schutzsystem gemäß Richtlinie 94/9/EG.

Protection contre l'explosion dans les mines souterraines - Systèmes de protection - Partie 4: Installation d'extinction automatique d'explosion pour machines à attaque ponctuelle

Le présent document spécifie les exigences auxquelles doivent répondre les dispositifs d’extinction automatique d’explosion pour machines à attaque ponctuelle (MAP) utilisées dans le creusement de galeries souterraines, qui détectent automatiquement les explosions de grisou naissantes déclenchées par la tête d’abattage d’une MAP et les arrêtent sur le site, de sorte que le personnel sur site n’est pas mis en péril.
Le présent document ne spécifie aucune exigence en ce qui concerne la lutte contre les incendies dans les mines souterraines.
Le dispositif d’extinction automatique d’explosion pour MAP est un système de protection autonome conformément à la directive 94/9/CE.

4 General requirements 4.1 General Automatic explosion extinguishing systems for roadheaders essentially comprise the following co-ordinated components:
sensors for explosion ignition detection; ¾ extinguishing agent containers for explosion fighting; ¾ control system for monitoring the individual components and their combined effect as well as the triggering of the extinguishing system (electronic control and operating unit); ¾ power supply and emergency power supply. The number and configuration of the individual components are determined by the type of machine and by the roadway cross-section to be protected. EN 13463-1 and EN 60079-0 shall be applied. 4.2 Functional requirements 4.2.1 General All components are to be designed for high operating reliability in accordance with the “fail-safe” principle. A high level of protection against incorrect triggering shall be ensured by means of a selective response action and minimum sensitivity to external interference factors. Appropriate protection devices are to be used to protect the components from unauthorized external interventions. If the roadheader has an automatic explosion extinguishing installation, the roadheader shall be equipped with a compulsory interlock. All electrical equipment shall be of class M1. The system is designed for an ambient temperature of – 20 °C to 40 °C. A degree of protection of at least IP 54 is required.
The monitoring range of the detection sensors shall be fixed in such a way that the system only detects those events that have to be controlled. The events to be detected are explosions that have been caused by the cutter head of the roadheader machine and which are initiated in the vicinity of the machine, but not fires occurring outside the cutting zone.
