  • Effect of Different Fabric Skin Combinations on Predicted Sweating Skin Temperature of a Thermal Manikin
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Proceedings Of The Second International Conference On Advanced Textile Materials & Manufacturing Technology. - 9787308079587 ; , s. 184-186

    • In this study, a knit cotton fabric skin and a Gore-tex skin were used to simulate two sweating methods. The Gore-tex skin was put on top of the pre-wetted knit cotton skin on a dry heated thermal manikin 'Tore' to simulate senseless sweating, similar to thermal manikins 'Coppelius' and 'Walter'. Another simulation involved the pre-wetted fabric skin covered on top of the Gore-tex skin in order to simulate sensible sweating. This type of sweating simulation can be widely found on many thermal manikins worldwide, e.g. 'Newton'. Two empirical equations to predict the wet skin surface temperature were developed based on the mean manikin surface temperature, mean fabric skin surface temperature and the total heat loss. The prediction equations for the senseless sweating and sensible sweating on the thermal manikin 'Tore' were T-sk=34.05-0.0193HL and T-sk=34.63-0.0178HL, respectively. It was found that the Gore-tex skin limits moisture evaporation and the predicted fabric skin temperature was greater than that in the G+C skin combination. Further study should validate those two empirical equations, however.

  • Effect of temperature difference between manikin and wet fabric skin surfaces on clothing evaporative resistance: how much error is there?
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Biometeorology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1432-1254 .- 0020-7128. ; 56, s. 177-182

    • Clothing evaporative resistance is one of the inherent factors that impede heat exchange by sweating evaporation. It is widely used as a basic input in physiological heat strain models. Previous studies showed a large variability in clothing evaporative resistance both at intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory testing. The errors in evaporative resistance may cause severe problems in the determination of heat stress level of the wearers. In this paper, the effect of temperature difference between the manikin nude surface and wet textile skin surface on clothing evaporative resistance was investigated by both theoretical analysis and thermal manikin measurements. It was found that the temperature difference between the skin surface and the manikin nude surface could lead to an error of up to 35.9% in evaporative resistance of the boundary air layer. Similarly, this temperature difference could also introduce an error of up to 23.7% in the real clothing total evaporative resistance (R ( et_real ) < 0.1287 kPa m(2)/W). Finally, it is evident that one major error in the calculation of evaporative resistance comes from the use of the manikin surface temperature instead of the wet textile fabric skin temperature.

  • Effects of Air Velocity and Clothing Combination on Heating Efficiency of an Electrically Heated Vest (EHV): A Pilot Study
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1545-9632 .- 1545-9624. ; 7:9, s. 501-505

    • Cold endangers the heat balance of the human body. Protective clothing is the natural and most common equipment against cold stress. However, clothing for cold protection may be bulky and heavy, affecting human performance and increasing the work load. In such cases, a heated garment with built-in heating elements may be helpful. This pilot study presents a method based on a thermal manikin to investigate the effects of air velocity and clothing combination on the heating efficiency of an electrically heated vest (EHV). An infrared thermal camera was used to detect surface temperature distributions of the EHV on the front and back. Results show that the heating efficiency of the EHV decreases with increasing air velocity. Changes in EHV sequence in the three-layer clothing combination also significantly affect the heating efficiency: it increases with the increasing number of layers on top of the EHV. The highest mean temperature on the inner surface of the EHV was 40.2°C, which indicates that it is safe for the wearers. For the EHV to heat the human body effectively, we suggest that it be worn as a middle layer. Finally, the EHV is especially suitable for occupational groups whose metabolic rate is below 1.9 Mets.

  • Effects of various protective clothing and thermal environments on heat strain of unacclimated men: The PHS (predicted heat strain) model revisited
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Industrial Health. - 1880-8026. ; 51:3, s. 266-274
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Five protective garments were assessed on eight unacclimated male subjects at two WBGT temperatures: 19.0 and 24.5 °C. The thermophysiological responses and subjective sensations were reported. The PHS model (ISO7933) was used for predicting thermophysiological responses for each testing scenario. It was found that there were significant differences between clothing FIRE and other clothing on thermal sensation (p<0.05). Significant differences were found on skin humidity sensation between FIRE and L, HV or MIL (p<0.001). The RPE value in FIRE is significant different with L and HV (p<0.05). At 19.0 °C WBGT, the post-exercise mean skin temperatures increased by 0.59 and 1.29 °C in MIL and CLM. In contrast, mean skin temperatures in L, HV, MIL, CLM and FIRE at WBGT=24.5 oC increased by 1.7, 2.1, 2.1, 2.8 and 3.3 °C, respectively. The PHS model presented good performance on predicted mean skin temperatures in MIL and CLM at both two thermal environments. However, the skin temperature prediction with light clothing in high humidity (RH> 80%) was weak. For thick protective clothing, the prediction on rectal temperature was greatly conservative. It is thus concluded that the PHS model is inapplicable for high insulating clothing and measurements performed in high humidity environments.

  • Localised boundary air layer and clothing evaporative resistances for individual body segments.
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Ergonomics. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0014-0139 .- 1366-5847. ; 55:7, s. 799-812

    • Evaporative resistance is an important parameter to characterise clothing thermal comfort. However, previous work has focused mainly on either total static or dynamic evaporative resistance. There is a lack of investigation of localised clothing evaporative resistance. The objective of this study was to study localised evaporative resistance using sweating thermal manikins. The individual and interaction effects of air and body movements on localised resultant evaporative resistance were examined in a strict protocol. The boundary air layer's localised evaporative resistance was investigated on nude sweating manikins at three different air velocity levels (0.18, 0.48 and 0.78 m/s) and three different walking speeds (0, 0.96 and 1.17 m/s). Similarly, localised clothing evaporative resistance was measured on sweating manikins at three different air velocities (0.13, 0.48 and 0.70 m/s) and three walking speeds (0, 0.96 and 1.17 m/s). Results showed that the wind speed has distinct effects on local body segments. In contrast, walking speed brought much more effect on the limbs, such as thigh and forearm, than on body torso, such as back and waist. In addition, the combined effect of body and air movement on localised evaporative resistance demonstrated that the walking effect has more influence on the extremities than on the torso. Therefore, localised evaporative resistance values should be provided when reporting test results in order to clearly describe clothing local moisture transfer characteristics. Practitioner Summary: Localised boundary air layer and clothing evaporative resistances are essential data for clothing design and assessment of thermal comfort. A comprehensive understanding of the effects of air and body movement on localised evaporative resistance is also necessary by both textile and apparel researchers and industry.

  • Validation of the physiological model of sleeping bags defined in EN13537 (2002)
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: ; , s. 1-4
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Abstract in UndeterminedIn this study, we validated comfort and limit temperatures of four sleeping bags with different levels of insulation defined according to EN 13537. Six male subjects and four female subjects underwent totally 20 two-hour exposures in four sleeping bags at four intended testing temperatures: 11.2, 3.8, 2.1 and -9.0 °C. The subjective perceptions and physiological responses of these subjects were reported and analysed. It was found that the EN 13537 defined comfort temperature and limit temperature were underestimated for sleeping bags MA3, HAG and MAM. The predictions are so conservative that further revision may be required to meet the requirements of both manufacturers and consumers. In contrast, for the sleeping bag MA0 with a low level of insulation, the limit temperature defined by EN 13537 was slightly overestimated. Finally, traditional sleeping bags may be required to be redesigned to provide consumers both whole body comfort as well as local thermal comfort at feet/toes or users need to be made aware of the need for their better insulation.

  • A Study on Local Cooling of Garments with Ventilation Fans and Openings Placed at Different Torso Sites
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics. - : Elsevier BV. - 0169-8141. ; 43:3, s. 232-237
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Abstract in UndeterminedThe aim of the study was to examine the various design features of ventilatedgarments on cooling performance. Five jackets with small ventilation units andclosable openings were designed. The ventilation units with a flow rate of 12 l/s wereplaced at five different torso sites. They were examined on a sweating thermalmanikin in four clothing opening conditions in a warm environment(Ta=Tmanikin=34 °C, RH=60 %, Va=0.4 m/s). Total torso cooling was increased by 137to 251 %, and clothing total dynamic evaporative resistance was decreased by 43 to69 %. Neither the ventilation location nor the opening design had a significantdifference on total torso cooling. The ventilation location had a significant differenceon localized intra-torso cooling, but not the opening design. When the ventilationunits were placed at the local zone where it was ventilated, that zone underwent thehighest cooling than other local zones. The study indicated that the ventilation unitsshould be placed at the region where it required the most evaporative cooling, e.g.along the spine area and the lower back. The openings could be adjusted (closed oropened) to make comfortable air pressure for the wearers but without makingsignificant difference on the whole torso cooling under this flow rate.
