Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fire safety engineering, and in particular to a method and system for calculating the thickness of a fireproof coating of a steel structure substation. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely mention background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Steel substations are key nodes for power transmission and are classified as Class I or Class II fire-resistant industrial buildings, making fire protection design particularly important. Existing fire protection designs for steel substations often use the standard temperature rise curve specified in the code to design the thickness of the fireproof coating. This fixed curve is generally suitable for small structures.
[0004] However, steel structure substations are high-space steel structures, and the main building material is steel, which has good thermal conductivity but poor fire resistance.
[0005] In the event of a fire, a fire in a tall, large structure cannot spread to all combustible materials within the room and generally cannot cause a flashover throughout the entire space. Furthermore, fires in tall, large structures typically occur within a limited area, affecting only the air temperature within and adjacent to that area. Furthermore, fires in large spaces exhibit a certain degree of stratification. In addition to the direct impact of the underlying flames on the air, the upper smoke also influences the spatial temperature through radiation and other means. Therefore, the temperature field of a fire in a tall, large structure differs significantly from that of a fire indoors in a typical building. Standard temperature rise curves are not suitable for calculating the temperature of a fire in a tall, large steel substation. Consequently, the accuracy of fire retardant coating thickness calculations for steel substations requires improvement.
[0006] In addition, the actual structure of the steel structure substation is not taken into consideration during the design of the existing standard temperature rise curve, and its applicability needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0047] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] Next, combine Figures 1-6 , a method for calculating the thickness of a fire retardant coating of a steel structure substation disclosed in this embodiment is described in detail. The method for calculating the thickness of a fire retardant coating of a steel structure substation includes:
[0050] S1. Construct a temperature rise curve for the steel structure substation, and take the temperature rise curve corresponding to the most unfavorable working condition as the ambient temperature curve.
[0051] Specifically, the structural parameters (such as the number of floors, floor height, structural composition, layout, etc.), material parameters, heat release rate and other data of the steel structure substation are obtained and input into the fluid dynamics calculation software Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) to obtain the temperature rise curve of the steel structure substation.
[0052] For example, a steel-structured substation with a voltage level of 220 kV has its main transformer located outside the distribution equipment building. The building's exterior dimensions are 54 m long, 13 m wide, and 17.2 m high (excluding the steel columns that hang the cables beyond the main structure). The structure utilizes box-type steel columns and hot-rolled H-beams. The exterior walls are clad in aluminum-magnesium-manganese composite panels, while the interior walls are constructed of light steel-framed fire-resistant gypsum board. The horizontal column spacing is 8 m, with a maximum vertical spacing of 8 m. Beams and columns are appropriately spaced closer to the right ancillary function room. The substation has a first-floor height of 6.0 m, and a second-floor height of 9.9 m. The first floor is divided into three independent areas by two fire-resistant partition walls. The second floor has no interior walls, providing a larger open space for equipment. The building's interior features functional areas such as the distribution equipment room, secondary equipment room, and data room, and is equipped with ventilation facilities. The main material parameters are shown in the table below.
[0053] Table 1 Main material parameters
[0054]
[0055] Doors, windows and louvered vents are all set for natural ventilation, giving the surface an "OPEN" property.
[0056] Based on the principle of the most unfavorable fire scenario, simulating the worst-case potential impact of equipment failure or combustible material fire on the building structure, the fire source was located near the middle steel column in the middle area of the substation's first floor. The fire source was a 1-meter cube with its base abutting the first-floor slab. The remaining five surfaces, excluding the base, served as heat release sources.
[0057] The heat release rate Q adopts the t2 fire model, that is, Q = αt 2The fire growth coefficient is selected according to the Technical Standards for Smoke Prevention and Exhaust Systems in Buildings as the rapid fire type α = 0.044kW / s2.
[0058] According to the Technical Standards for Building Smoke Prevention and Exhaust Systems, the heat release rate of a fire in a substation building reaches 8MW when it reaches a steady state.
[0059] By inputting the above data into the fluid dynamics calculation software FDS, the temperature rise curve of the steel structure substation can be obtained.
[0060] Here, the temperature rise curve mainly includes two stages. The first stage is the initial stage of the fire, when the air temperature rises sharply and the slope of the curve is large. The second stage is the stable combustion stage, when the fire temperature gradually stabilizes. The fire decline stage after the heat release of the fire source is completed is not considered.
[0061] For example, assuming the room temperature is 20°C, the regression formula of the heating curve is expressed as:
[0062]
[0063] Where L and H represent the distance and vertical height of the fire source (in meters), s represents the time (in seconds), and T 500 It represents the temperature value at 500 seconds. The fire tends to stabilize about 500 seconds after the fire occurs. The temperature field at this stage can be regarded as a stable field.
[0064] Furthermore, the goodness of the fitting formula can be evaluated by the temperature value at the 500th second, and the average absolute value of the error is 8.0%.
[0065]
[0066]
[0067] When the location of the potential fire source is unclear, the temperature rise curve of the most unfavorable working condition (L = 0, H = 5m) is taken as the ambient temperature curve. The ambient temperature curve is expressed as:
[0068]
[0069] Based on this, the ambient temperature curve is made more in line with the actual scenario of the steel structure substation, so that the thickness design of the subsequent fire-retardant coating can cope with different fire conditions.
[0070] S2. Construct the thermal balance differential equation of the fire retardant coating, introduce the ambient temperature curve into the thermal balance differential equation, and determine the temperature equation of the steel component. Specifically include:
[0071] S201. Determine the thermal balance differential equation of the fire retardant coating based on the temperature of the steel component, the ambient temperature, the cross-sectional shape coefficient of the steel component under thermal conditions, the thermal conductivity of the fire retardant coating, the thickness of the fire retardant coating, the density of the steel and the specific heat of the steel.
[0072] Among them, the heat balance differential equation is expressed as:
[0073]
[0074] Where, T s represents the temperature of the steel component, T represents the ambient temperature, λ represents the thermal conductivity of the fire retardant coating, d represents the thickness of the fire retardant coating, ρ s Indicates the density of steel, c s represents the specific heat of steel, and F / V represents the cross-sectional shape coefficient of the steel member under thermal conditions.
[0075] The temperature equation of steel components is expressed as:
[0076]
[0077] Where A represents the reference parameter, B represents the intermediate parameter, λ represents the thermal conductivity of the fire retardant coating, d represents the thickness of the fire retardant coating, and F / V represents the cross-sectional shape coefficient of the steel structure under thermal conditions.
[0078] S3. Obtain the cross-sectional shape coefficient value and the thermal conductivity value of the fire retardant coating, use the critical temperature of the steel component to determine the corresponding intermediate parameter value, and determine the thickness value of the fire retardant coating by combining the intermediate parameter value, the cross-sectional shape coefficient value and the thermal conductivity value of the fire retardant coating.
[0079] Specifically, determine the temperature of the steel component and plot it with time s as the horizontal axis and B value as the vertical axis as shown below: Figure 6 The multiple curves shown are based on the critical temperature T of the steel component. s After finding the B value, the thickness of the fire retardant coating can be calculated using the cross-sectional shape coefficient F / V and the thermal conductivity coefficient λ of the fire retardant coating.
[0080] Here, the cross-sectional shape coefficient is an inherent property of the steel structure component, and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the fire retardant coating is an inherent property of the fire retardant coating.
