Comparative Study on the Evolution of Airflow Temperature and Valid Ventilation Distance Under Different Cooling Strategies in High-Temperature Tunnels for Mining Thermal Energy by Fangchao Kang, Jinlong Men, Binbin Qin, Guoxi Sun, Ruzhen Chen, Weikang Zhang, Jiamei Chen, Zhenpeng Ye

“…Our findings indicate that (1) the TIL-HE strategy demonstrates superior cooling performance, resulting in significantly lower airflow temperatures and markedly higher VVD; (2) higher water velocity and more heat exchangers contribute to lower airflow temperature and prolonged VVD; (3) positioning the heat exchangers within the surrounding rock rather than inside the insulation layer leads to even lower airflow temperature and longer VVD. Longitudinal-arranged heat exchangers present fewer construction challenges compared to traditional radial-drilled ones, ultimately reducing tunnel construction costs. …”
