Experimental study on effective placement of PCM packets in cooling vest to improve performance in warm environment
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Global warming has increased the risk of heat stress of outdoor workers and one measure against heat stress is wearing passive personal cooling clothing. Passive body cooling systems, including phase change material (PCM) ...
Effect of PCM packet mass and melting temperature on cooling vest performance
(
ASHRAE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Workers in hot environment experience high heat stresses that affect their productivity and working intervals. A cooling vest containing phase change material packets (PCMs) is used as a passive body cooling method to ...
Mathematical modeling of PCM cooling vest for workers in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) made of salt mixtures that melts at a specific temperature helps in maintaining the skin temperature of the covered parts at a comfortable level. A dynamic thermal ...
Improving comfort and productivity of workers at moderate activity and hot environment by means of a PCM cooling vest
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The effect of using a phase change material (PCM) cooling vest by a worker performing moderate activity in a hot environment is studied through the use of a validated integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat model. The integrated ...
