| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A simulator of infant’s heat production and release has been developed, in which both perspiration and sweating can also be realized. The simulator consisted mainly of two parts; those were water supplier and simulated skin systems. Surface of the skin system was maintained at 33 °C by the same heat energy of 70 W/m2 as infant’s metabolic rate in rest. In the case of simulating insensible perspiration, evaporated rate from the skin system was almost equal to the given water to the one with the infant’s perspiration rate of 10 g/m2h. In the case of simulating sweating, small amount of water evaporated from and the rest stayed over the skin system due to the fixed heat energy when the supplied water rate exceeded 40 g/m2h. This indicates the device represented well dependence of sensible heat transfer from the infant as mentioned in references. Thus, it can be noted that technique in the present study is available to apply for making a baby sweating thermal manikin.
