GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ENERGY ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN QUARRY TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

In modern conditions, when the cost and even the shortage of fuel and energy resources are increasing, the assessment of the energy efficiency of industrial technologies is of particular importance. This article discusses the general principles of scientific substantiation of the energy efficiency of quarry transports and their evaluation by criteria for reducing specific energy consumption in the management of drilling, explosion protection, and excavation processes. the consumption of motor transport is solved in connection with the consideration of the thermal energy of diesel fuel in the calculation and the electric energy of conveyor transport and rail transport in comparison.
