Abstract. Current state of the problem of pneumatic power supply to the mine consumers is analyzed. The main factors influencing performance effectiveness of the mine compression facility are described. It is shown that the compressed air functionality during its transportation via the mine pneumatic networks is degraded greatly due to the leaky networks. Main characteristics of the mine pneumatic networks and consumers of compressed air are described. Influence of air leaks on effi-ciency of pneumatic energy supply to the pneumatic equipment is estimated. Basic approaches are specified which can minimize pneumatic energy losses during transportation of compressed air via the mine pneumatic networks to the mine customers; one of approaches is to increase leakproofness of the main and district compressed-air supply pipelines.

Keywords: compressed air, pneumatic energy, leak, mine pneumatic network, leaktightness, compressed air functionality.
