To solve the problem of excavation face dust control,the theory of dust removal after collection was put forward.Through a large number of theoretical and experimental researches,a new wind screen dust-collection system which was applied to comprehen- sive excavation face was developed.To set a wind dam in jet stream box,achieve the function of multi-stage and multiple-level regulation,lots of experimentation was carried out to obtain higher jet stream velocity with the minimum loss of energy.Experiments show that the slit width in the exports of wind screen dust-collection system should be 10 to 15 mm.For the general excavation roadway,after wind attenuation,the velocity can be greater than 3 m/s at the roof which meets the requirements of respirable dust control.
