Thermal simulation of shutter temperatures with cooling water at 22°C and a thermal load of 22 W incident power to a single shutter blade. In typical applications, this heat is distributed across both blades. However, in the event of misalignment of either the assembly or the incoming beam, the full power could be incident on a single blade. Therefore, the simulation represents a worst-case scenario. The maximum expected temperature is 420°C, which remains well below the melting points of both tungsten (W) and aluminium (Al). Colour scale 22°C to 429°C. The turquoise labels indicate the simulated temperature at these particular positions.
