PCM cooling vest for improving thermal comfort in hot environment

International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 2016
Abstract 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 layers containing PCM packets was developed.

Cooling efficiency of vests with different cooling concepts over 8-hour trials [PDF]

Ergonomics, 2020
As frequency and severity of heat waves are increasing, personal cooling systems are being considered as a tool to mitigate heat strain in workers in various occupational settings. This study assessed cooling capacities (C; W·h·m-2) of various commercially available vests using different cooling concepts.

An Ice Vest, but Not Single-Hand Cooling, Is Effective at Reducing Thermo-Physiological Strain During Exercise Recovery in the Heat

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
Sports limit the length of breaks between halves or periods, placing substantial time constraints on cooling effectiveness. This study investigated the effect of active cooling during both time-limited and prolonged post-exercise recovery in the heat ...

Experimental study on cooling effect and improving comfort of cooling vest

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract In order to provide a comfortable working space in a warm or hot environment, it is necessary to cool these spaces to consume energy. In the context of global warming, the ability to provide comfort is becoming more and more challenging. With the increase of energy consumption, the demand for cooling is also increasing [1].

Cooling vests alleviate perceptual heat strain perceived by COVID-19 nurses [PDF]

Temperature, 2021
Cooling vests alleviate heat strain. We quantified the perceptual and physiological heat strain and assessed the effects of wearing a 21°C phase change material cooling vest on these measures during work shifts of COVID-19 nurses wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
