Development of a two-layer movable sweating thermal manikin.
A thermal manikin is a useful tool to evaluate thermal environments such as clothing, houses and others. A manikin needs to have the following properties: shape and size, heat production, skin temperature, sweat rate, physiological responses and others. So far, no manikin satisfying all these criteria has been available. In the present study, a two-layer movable sweating thermal manikin was new...
متن کاملThe influence of sweating on the heat transmission properties of cold protective clothing studied with a sweating thermal manikin.
One of the objectives of the European SUBZERO project was to study the influence of sweat evaporation and condensation on the heat transmission properties of cold protective clothing. With the sweating thermal manikin Coppelius, water vapour transfer through and water condensation in the clothing can be determined simultaneously with the thermal insulation. In this study, 4 cold protective ense...
متن کاملUse of a Thermal Manikin to Evaluate Human Thermoregulatory Responses in Transient, Non-Uniform, Thermal Environments
People who wear protective uniforms that inhibit evaporation of sweat can experience reduced productivity and even health risks when their bodies cannot cool themselves. This paper describes a new sweating manikin and a numerical model of the human thermoregulatory system that evaluates the thermal response of an individual to transient, non-uniform thermal environments. The physiological model...
متن کاملMeasurements of clothing evaporative resistance using a sweating thermal manikin: an overview
Evaporative resistance has been widely used to describe the evaporative heat transfer property of clothing. It is also a critical variable in heat stress models for predicting human physiological responses in various environmental conditions. At present, sweating thermal manikins provide a fast and cost-effective way to determine clothing evaporative resistance. Unfortunately, the measurement r...
متن کاملMeasurement of Immersion Suit Insulation: a Comparison between Human Subjects and a Thermal Manikin
Thermal manikin. Parallel to the human tests, the immersion suit was also tested using a Thermal Instrumented Manikin (TIM, CORD Group Limited, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia) immersed in the same water conditions and at the same time without interfering with the subject or changing the wave pattern. The probe locations (except for the location of the lIFTs that were fixed on the pile garment of the ma...
