Estimation of Optimal Water Flow Rate of a Steel Roller Shutter with Water Film Cooling System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The hybrid inverse method to estimate the optimal water flow rate and surface temperature on the hot surface of the steel roller shutter with water film cooling system subjected to a fire environment is presented in this paper. The results show that the effect of the down-flowing water film flow rate on the present estimates cannot be negligible. The water-film system combined with the steel roller shutter can effectively improve the heat resistance and the temperature of the shutter slat surface can be controlled to around 100 °C. The optimal water flow rate is 110 L/min for a typical 3m x 3m steel roller shutter with water film cooling system.
