English abstract The main goal of a ventilation system is to supply mining activities with fresh and good-quality air. The major function of the ventilation control is to pump fresh air to the extraction shafts via tarpaulin tube to ex-tract gases such as CH4, CO, SO2, H2S, nO2 and/or CO2. This operation depends on the type of extracted ore and also on the mining method applied. This paper describes the design, modeling and control of a mine prototype for studying mine ventilation. The prototype mine shown is designed to recreate a ventilation system that includes gas sensors that provide real-time measurements, also a control center where fan con-trol can be carried out according to the percentages of detected gas, and precise knowledge about the actual energy consumption of fans
