AI Article Synopsis
- Thermal manikins (TM) are currently the standard for evaluating clothing's thermal quality and are increasingly used to assess indoor climate.
- Current TM models can make precise measurements regarding heat exchange for the entire body and specific body parts, with skin temperature being a key factor controlled by software.
- The study explores how varying the skin temperature of TM affects thermal regulation, convection, and conductive heat exchange in specific indoor environments and under defined clothing and metabolic scenarios.
Article Abstract
At present time thermal manikins (TM) are used as standard method to determine the thermal quality of clothing. Besides, in the last time TM's apply to estimate indoor climate. Now used types of TM enable quantitative assertions on human convective and conductive heat exchange, as for the whole body as for different parts. The limited factor for this heat flow is the topical value of TM's skin temperature which is regulated by software. As a rule, this temperature is the same like human's skin temperature at thermal comfort conditions. Distal change of skin temperature takes a leading part to determine thermal conditions which are still tolerable regarding human thermoregulation. The influence of this kind of thermal regulation on topical convection and conductive heat exchange was examined by variation of TM's skin temperature on a concrete indoor situation and defined clothing and metabolic conditions.
