Recent trends and future scope in the protection and comfort of fire-fighters’ personal protective clothing
Fire-fighters’ personal protective clothing is the only source of protection for fire-fighters during fire-fighting. The protective clothing should provide adequate protection as well as should be comfortable to wear. The protection and comfort requirements are always the contradicting fact in several protective clothing including fire-fighters’. Appropriate material selection, clothing design ...
متن کاملJ. Randall Lawson’ and Robert L. Vettori2 THERMAL MEASUREMENTS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS’ PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Current test methods used for quantifying the thermal performance of fire fighters’ protective clothing are not providing information needed to understand why fire fighters are being burned. Many of the thermal exposures where fire fighters receive serious bum injuries are much lower than those specified in current test methods. In addition, current test methods do not provide a means to measur...
متن کاملبررسی یک استراتژی مداخلهای خنککننده برای کاهش استرین حرارتی ناشی از لباس حفاظتی آتشنشانان
Introduction: Protective clothes are among the basic needs of firefighters against their occupational risks. Combination of heat stress effects caused by muscle activation and protective clothing, result in a high level of strain in the regulating system of body temperature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the practical cooling method of hand and forearm immersion in water. Methods: In...
متن کاملA 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 کاملNumerical simulations of heat and moisture transport in thermal protective clothing under flash fire conditions.
A numerical model of heat and moisture transport in thermal protective clothing during exposure to a flash fire was introduced. The model was developed with the assumption that textiles are treated as porous media. The numerical model predictions were compared with experimental data from different fabric systems and configurations. Additionally, with the introduction of a skin model, the parame...
