In doing so, diverse methods were applied, which depended on the type and the depth of the mine.
In the visitors’ coal mine exhibit of the LWL-Industrial Museum Nightingale colliery, air pressure is directed into the shaft through a pipeline and enters the mining gallery through a duct whose diameter increases along its length. This type of pipe is called a diffuser. With it, the amount of air exhausting out of a duct is increased. At the same time, the amount of noise made by the exhausting air is reduced. All one can hear is a steady, low whisper of the airstream.
