Thermoregulatory clothing plays an indispensable role in maintaining body thermal comfort and achieving building energy savings response to fluctuating ambient. Existing temperature-adaptive without external input has very limited thermoregulatory power because of the lack simultaneous regulation multiple heat-dissipation pathways. Here, we report with multimodal body-heat (viz. convection, radiation, sweat evaporation), which can automatically adapt temperature change (15°C–35°C) within...
Heating and cooling efficiencies of a personal air thermoregulatory system are not only determined by the physics energy conversion efficiency but also influenced interactions between human body clothing microenvironment. It was found that for wearable ventilating system, sedentary position can lead to higher heating power than standing position. Also, leaning on chair backrest during sitting further improve performance in hot condition compared with non-leaning These improvements mainly...
Healthcare professionals wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) during outbreaks often experience heat strain and discomfort, which can negatively impact their work performance well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological psychological effects of a newly designed wearable cooling dehumidifying system (WCDS) on healthcare workers PPE via 60 min treadmill walking test. Core temperature, mean skin heart rate, subjective assessments thermal sensation, wetness comfort were...
This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of thermal comfort and physiological thermoregulation as well importance clothing thermoregulation. It reviews history recent progress for passive active A detailed classification thermoregulatory with cooling or heating effect is provided based on components working mechanisms. Also, various textile materials garment designs are discussed compared in efficiency, usability, safety, cost. These comparisons allow researchers to determine...
