| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Prototypes of heat retention device for containers used in medical settings were developed, and the effects of material composition and their position were experimentally investigated. The device was useful for transporting samples at constant temperature in variety of temperature environments. The measuring method of temperature in the environment similar to the actual conditions of medical settings was also investigated. These results provided basic knowledge for controlling the heat flow around medical devices. Numerical simulation environment for thermal analysis of heat generating medical equipment was constructed to discuss the thermal design guidelines.
