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

摘要

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.
