Thermological comfort assessment
Thermophysiological comfort assessment
Professional workwear has to protect the worker and allow him/her to work under comfortable conditions (temperature, humidity...).
The use of a thermal and sweating mannequin with movement simulation allows to predict comfort indexes in conformity with reality.
Thermal features
- thermally conductive Carbon Fiber-Epoxy shell
- standard garment size M
- 26 independent thermal zones
- distributed heating wires and wire sensors for accurate control and measurement of skin temperature to +/- 0.1°C
- water compliant for use with wetted skin
- standard joints at the shoulders, hips, knees, elbows, and ankles
- mannequin walking mechanism (speed variable from 0 to 55 double steps per minute : about 70 meters/min)
Sweating mechanism
- volumetric control of delivered sweat rate, selectable by mannequin region
- network of pores over the mannequin's surface
- removable fabric skin layer for water distribution by wicking
