The effect of PCM placement on torso cooling vest for an active human in hot environment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The distribution of phase change material (PCM) packets on a cooling vest worn by active human in hot environments is investigated using an integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat model. The model considered the effect of added ...
Experimental study on using PCMs of different melting temperatures in one cooling vest to reduce its weight and improve comfort
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study aims at evaluating experimentally phase change material (PCM) cooling vest performance when incorporating two types of PCM with different melting temperatures with varied PCM placement on the lower, upper, front ...
Cooling vest with optimized PCM arrangement targeting torso sensitive areas that trigger comfort when cooled for improving human comfort in hot conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The objective of this work is to optimize the arrangement of Phase Change Material (PCM) packets in a cooling vest by targeting torso segments that can trigger comfort when cooled. An integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat ...
PCM cooling vest for improving thermal comfort in hot environment
(
Elsevier Masson s.r.l.
, 2016 , Article)
A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) can help in maintaining the skin temperature of the covered parts at a comfortable level. A transient mathematical model of heat and mass transfer through clothing ...
Life cycle assessment of desiccant – Dew point evaporative cooling systems with water reclamation for poultry houses in hot and humid climate
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Desiccant – dew point evaporative based cooling systems is known to be an effective system for the ventilation and cooling of poultry houses in hot and humid climates. However, they suffer from high water consumption that ...
Comparative analysis of sustainable desiccant – Evaporative based ventilation systems for a typical Qatari poultry house
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Direct evaporative cooling is the typically adopted ventilation system in poultry houses in hot climates. This type of cooling is inefficient during period of relatively high humidity resulting in degraded thermal comfort ...
Modeling and optimization of poultry house passive cooling strategies in semiarid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Meeting hygrothermal and air quality requirements in livestock dwellings is crucial for upholding production quality standards. However, ventilation and air-conditioning in such enclosures is very energy-intensive, especially ...
