A Sweating Agile Thermal Manikin (SAM) Developed to Test Complete Clothing Systems Under Normal and Extreme Conditions

摘要: Moisture transport, thermal insulation and their interaction influence both the comfort protective properties of clothing systems. Depending on environmental conditions design, wind repetitive body movements can increase transport heat moisture away from body. Thus a manikin designed to test realistically, particularly under extreme conditions, should be able sweat perform such movements. SAM is newly developed capable simulating even heavy work with rates up 4 litres per hour human as walking climbing. The anatomicallyformed divided into 30 sectors, each heated separately its own average surface-temperature sensor. In total 125 outlets are distributed over surface, which vapour liquid sweating simulated all or just chosen parts. operate at temperatures between –30 40°C, relative humidities ranging 95% high speeds.
