Abstract:Water source heat pump technology can change the lowgrade waste heat coming from the mine return air, mine water, bathing waste water and cooling water (wind) into the heating energy. The heat recovery system of this heat pump is reliable. It can bring significant economic benefits and also can make energysaving and emissionreduction come true. In this paper, the types of waste heat and application theory in mine system have been analyzed, and provides the method of calculating the amount of waste heat in mine return air, mine water, bathing waste water and cool water (wind). The design examples of waste heat recovery heating system for some coal mines in Shandong province have also been analyzed. The application of this project creates a new technological approach for the mine energy utilization and heat pump technology application; it not only provides essential sources of heat energy and hot water for mine production and people’s daily life and creates a new way for saving cost of production, but also provides a guarantee for coal mine enterprise’s environmental friendly production, greatly improved the living environment around the mines.
