The Modular CoalSAFE refuge model is designed specifically for narrow shaft underground coal mines where transporting whole units down the shaft can be problematic.
The Modular CoalSAFE can be split into any number of separate compartments, each one being of customisable dimension. Once all modules have been transported underground the Modular CoalSAFE can be assembled and suitably positioned to form one whole refuge unit.
Through innovative design, the CoalSAFE is currently the only refuge model on the market to incorporate both a powerless carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide (CO2/CO) scrubber as well as an intrinsically safe air conditioning system (refrigerant R744).
This standalone unit, dubbed the MARCis (MineARC Air Refuge Chamber - Intrinsically Safe), runs on liquid CO2, and is the first of its kind anywhere in the world.
The CoalSAFE is manufactured and tested to the highest industry regulations and guidelines: Built to United States Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) 'Final Rule' 2009 (30CFR §7.503), and certified to the Chinese MA Office’s interim refuge regulation.
