Responsible
Ventilation

Ventilation control solution to create, manage and schedule ventilation zones for site safety and energy savings.

Responsible Ventilation

PBE’s Responsible Ventilation (RV) software is designed to ensure maximum jobsite safety by allowing ventilation zones to control fans under certain conditions in mine and tunnel ventilation systems. These conditions can be triggered by environmental events such as unsafe gas levels, vehicles or personnel entering the area etc.

Ventilation on Demand (VOD) technology allows for maximum ventilation efficiency for safety and power consumption. Cost savings reports can be generated to demonstrate how much money can be saved from fans in RV zones not running constantly. Energy costs for underground operations are becoming prohibitive as we push the limits and go deeper underground. The mass energy usage is consumed by ventilation and PBE's RV has a solution.

Benefits of the PBE Axell's Responsible Ventilation Software include:

Significant cost saving on power usage
Significantly reduce energy usage by directing ventilation where you need it when you need it
Provides reports to show running costs and fan usage
User friendly software with easy to read controls
Allows for scheduling of fan events and on times
Manually override
Self-contained for simplistic and quick installation
Lower cost alternative to a full VOD (Ventilation on Demand) system
System works with radiating coax system, fiber and WiFi backbones

Environmental monitoring
Asset tracking

Multiple technologies for redundancy and accuracy
Recognizes multiple environmental such as gas monitoring
Can trigger a fan to turn on when a person or vehicle enters a certain area
Allows for scheduling of fan events and on times
Can be manually overridden to turn fans on
Can be used with existing PLC and SCADA networks/li>
Easily managed ventilation zones to turn fans off when ventilation is not needed
User friendly software with simplistic GUI interface
