| Research Abstract |
We developed a cooling clothing system that gives cooling effect by water evaporation to the human body. We performed human subject experiments in climate chambers maintained at 30 C and RH 50% or 25 C and RH 50% to clarify the characteristics of our cooling clothing system compared with those of some isothermal personal convective cooling systems. We confirmed that the simultaneous use of the cooling clothing with some convective cooling systems made subjects easier to adapt to the high temperature environment than the single use of a convective cooling system. Thermal manikin experiments were conducted in a climate chamber maintained at 29 C and RH 50% to evaluate the cooling effect of our cooling clothing systems. The cooling clothing accelerated heat diffusion on the chest and back neck by 42.3 W/m2 while no cooling effect was observed for the other body parts.
