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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
