A Thermal Manikin Study on the Heat Gain from Infrared Radiation with Wet Clothing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transfer of heat radiation through clothing (Bröde et al., 2005; Clark & Cena, 1978; Lotens & Pieters, 1995) and the effects of moisture in different clothing layers (Bröde et al., 2008a; Havenith et al., 2008; Richards et al., 2008) have been studied separately. Also models predicting the heat gain from radiation (den Hartog et al., 2007; Lotens & Pieters, 1995) or the heat loss with wet clothing (Wissler & Havenith, 2009) have been formulated.

Effects of heat radiation on the heat exchange with protective clothing - a thermal mankin study
Within the scope of the European research initiative THERMPROTECT numerous thermal manikin experiments were performed on the transfer of heat through personal protective clothing (PPC) under far infrared radiation (FIR) stress. The influence of the reflectivity and insulation of the clothing, the radiated body surface area, and the interaction with convection and wet underwear were considered. ...
متن کاملHeat gain from thermal radiation through protective clothing with different insulation, reflectivity and vapour permeability.
The heat transferred through protective clothing under long wave radiation compared to a reference condition without radiant stress was determined in thermal manikin experiments. The influence of clothing insulation and reflectivity, and the interaction with wind and wet underclothing were considered. Garments with different outer materials and colours and additionally an aluminised reflective ...
متن کاملProtection against cold in prehospital care: evaporative heat loss reduction by wet clothing removal or the addition of a vapor barrier--a thermal manikin study.
INTRODUCTION In the prehospital care of a cold and wet person, early application of adequate insulation is of utmost importance to reduce cold stress, limit body core cooling, and prevent deterioration of the patient's condition. Most prehospital guidelines on protection against cold recommend the removal of wet clothing prior to insulation, and some also recommend the use of a waterproof vapor...
متن کاملAnalytical study of the heat loss attenuation by clothing on thermal manikins under radiative heat loads.
For wearers of protective clothing in radiation environments there are no quantitative guidelines available for the effect of a radiative heat load on heat exchange. Under the European Union funded project ThermProtect an analytical effort was defined to address the issue of radiative heat load while wearing protective clothing. As within the ThermProtect project much information has become ava...
متن کاملApparent latent heat of evaporation from clothing: attenuation and "heat pipe" effects.
Investigating claims that a clothed person's mass loss does not always represent their evaporative heat loss (EVAP), a thermal manikin study was performed measuring heat balance components in more detail than human studies would permit. Using clothing with different levels of vapor permeability and measuring heat losses from skin controlled at 34 degrees C in ambient temperatures of 10, 20, and...
