【 摘 要 】

The article presents the selected problems resulting from operation of diesel engines in the mining industry, resulting from necessity of meeting the current regulations. These regulations regarding the engines working in underground workings include: new emission limits of each toxic substance in exhaust gases, issues related to anti-explosion protection and limitations associated with the maximum temperature of the external surfaces of the drive unit and the emitted gases. The article shows own concept of the exhaust system that improves the quality of exhaust gases which meet safety requirements. The concept of a heat exchanger, which reduces temperature of exhaust gases, in which the heat pipes are suggested to be used for heat transport, is also given. Project assumptions and the anticipated research process were discussed.
