Abstract

This article deals with a prototype concept, real experiment and numerical simulation of a layered industrial fire shutter, based on some new insulating composite materials. The real fire shutter has been developed and optimized in laboratory and subsequently tested in the certified test room. A simulation of whole concept has been carried out as the non-premixed combustion process in the commercial final volume sw Pyrosim. Model of the combustion based on a stoichiometric defined mixture of gas and the tested layered samples showed good conformity with experimental results – i.e. thermal distribution inside and heat release rate that has gone through the sample.

Highlights

  • Fire safety is an inseparable aspect during the buildings design

  • The most important results for us is how the heat is transferred through the sample and especially the temperature measured on the outside sheet

  • In the graph (Fig. 4) a less steep rise in the temperature of the real sample can be observed compared to a model that shows a rapid increase in temperature range 0 – 10 minutes

Summary

Introduction

Fire safety is an inseparable aspect during the buildings design. One of the basic requirements especially for industrial buildings is dividing the building into fire zones, each other protected by fire partition structures, to prevent spreading of a potential fire and minimization looses. In our case some light fireproof materials that are used in fast fire barriers (e.g. movable gate, blinds) have been tested. Their function is to create a thermal shield between place which should stay safe and cool even if they are affected by high temperature radiation and convection from a near heat sources at the other side [1] for a by declared standard given time
