A Heat Transfer Model for Firefighters’ Protective Clothing, Continued Developments in Protective Clothing Modeling
In the year 2000, a paper entitled ‘‘A Heat Transfer Model for Firefighters’ Protective Clothing’’ was published in Volume 36, No. 1, of Fire Technology, and it received the 2001 Harry C. Bigglestone Award for Excellence in Written Communication of Fire Protection Concepts from The Fire Protection Research Foundation. Since the publication of this paper, there has been additional development of...
متن کاملA Study on Total Heat Loss of Clothing Materials for Firefighters’ Protective Clothing
Clothing is often made of materials that impede the flow of heat and moisture from the skin to the environment. Consequently, people may suffer from heat stress or cold stress when wearing clothing in different environmental conditions. Therefore it is important to quantify the thermal resistance and evaporative resistance of clothing materials and to consider these properties when selecting ma...
متن کاملPerformance of firefighters' protective clothing after heat exposure.
Heat and mechanical protection properties of 6 fabric combinations commonly used in firefighters' protective clothing were assessed before and after different heat treatment. It was shown that after heat exposure, the values obtained were generally lower than in the original state. The mechanical properties of the materials were more affected by heat than by heat protective properties. In 2 cas...
متن کاملThermal Strains Wearing Aluminized Firefighters’ Clothing
This study examined the influences of aluminized (Type A) and non-aluminized firefighters’ protective clothing (Type B, C, D and CON) on physiological and subjective responses in radiant heat. Total clothing weight was 6.24, 6.38, 6.06, 5.76 and 3.82 kg for Type A, B, C, D and CON, respectively. Eight firefighters performed exercise at an air temperature of 30°C with 50%RH. Three bouts of 10 mi...
متن کاملEffect of Protective Clothing and Fatigue on Functional Balance of Firefighters
Every year, more than 38,000 firefighters are injured on the fireground [1]. Among causes of moderate or severe injuries of firefighters, slips, trips, and falls are the most significant cause (28%) of firefighting injuries, followed by overexertion (23%), struck by objects (17%), exposure to detrimental environment (15%), and others (17%) [1]. A 2003 study reported that the average medical cos...
