The application of computer facilities for solving engineering and scientific problems causes the need to develop standard algorithms, programs, information support of tasks.

The developed algorithm of calculation of the compressor unit network characteristic has a number of disadvantages: impossibility of calculation of the pneumatic network with ring pipelines; absence of protection against wrong choice of the most loaded direction of air supply and the most remote consumer in it at drawing up the calculation scheme of the pneumatic network; necessity of input of the pipeline diameter by an arbitrary number at the length equal to zero, arising at the equivalent transformation of the pneumatic network; repetition of a number of operators, making the pneumatic network equivalent to zero.

When studying the modes of operation of mine pneumatic networks it is advisable to measure the parameters of compressed air: flow rate, pressure, temperature - simultaneously at different points of the pneumatic network, combining measurements with the recording of parameters within a certain period of time.
