Dust pollution and heat damage hazards are important problems affecting underground safety production. This paper is aimed at exploring the optimal magnetization conditions of magnetized water for dust removal and temperature reduction and improving the utilization rate of water. First, the surface tension, viscosity, and specific heat capacity of water under different magnetization conditions were measured experimentally. Then, the influence law of ejection pressure on spray atomization and the changes of dust removal performance before and after magnetization of water were analyzed. Based on this, the temperature reduction effect of magnetized water under different wind speeds was analyzed, and the magnetization conditions with the best coupling performance of magnetized water were obtained. Finally, a spray system was designed to control the magnetization conditions strictly. The results demonstrate that the dust removal performance is better when the magnetic field intensity is 150 mT and the magnetization time is 80 s. Under this condition, the specific heat capacity also reaches the maximum. These research results can provide a theoretical basis for the selection of dust pollution and heat damage control measures in mines.
