How does the tool account for air loss in the mine?

The `get_required_airflow` tool calculates the necessary intake volume by factoring in the expected leakage percentage to ensure the required air reaches the working face.

Can I compare different fan models?

Yes, you can use `optimize_fan_selection` to compare multiple fan profiles and find the one that meets your technical requirements at the lowest operating cost.

What inputs are needed for cost calculation?

To calculate costs, you need the fan's power consumption in kW, the electricity price per kWh, and the total operating hours.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized tools for underground mine ventilation management. It allows engineers to calculate the total intake airflow needed by accounting for leakage, evaluate if specific fan models meet pressure and volume requirements using evaluate_fan_performance, and determine the financial impact of equipment through calculate_operating_costs. The core capability is the optimize_fan_selection tool, which identifies the most economical fan choice from a library of options based on technical needs and electricity pricing.
