Fireproofing Performance Research of Water Curtain

Abstract:

The experimentation and numerical simulating have been done to validate the fireproofing performance of big water curtain. The breadth and highness of water curtain is 15m and 12.5m. The dimension of fire space: 18m×15m×12.5m (length×breadth×highness). The dimension of no fire space: 42m×15m×12.5m (length×breadth×highness). The result shows that: water curtain can prevent fire propagating and drops in temperature clearly; the water curtain fireproofing is feasible and effective; flux and thickness of the water curtain and the diameter of drip have major influence upon effect of the water curtain fireproofing. The conclusion of this paper should be helpful for the fireproofing water curtain design.
