American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1974
Eighteen experiments with a male student subject evaluated some of the characteristics of dry ice cooling. Skin and rectal temperatures, heart rate, blood pressure, ice sublimation and sweat evaporation rate, and environmental conditions were measured. Heat balances were calculated.

Personal Heating/Cooling System Using Peltier
ASME 2020 International Technical Conference and Exhibition on Packaging and Integration of Electronic and Photonic Microsystems, 2020Abstract Common quibbles in most homes are the temperature setting. Some family members are comfortable with cooler temperature settings, while other family members prefer warmer temperature settings. Not to mention the fragile elderly and some medical situations require different temperature settings for those individuals than the rest ...

Man-portable personal cooling garment based on vacuum desiccant cooling
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2012Abstract A man-portable personal cooling garment based on the concept of vacuum desiccant cooling (VDC) was developed. It was demonstrated with cooling pads that a cooling capacity of 373.1 W/m2 could be achieved in an ambient environment of 37 °C. Tests with human subjects wearing prototype cooling garments consisting of 12 VDC pads with an overall ...

A Shish-Kebab Superstructure Film for Personal Radiative Cooling
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2023Due to global warming and the energy crisis, incorporating passive radiative cooling into personal thermal management has attracted extensive attention. However, developing a wearable textile that reflects incoming sunlight and allows mid-infrared radiation transmission is still a tough challenge.

A Lightweight, Low-Cost Liquid-Metal Personal Cooling System for Prolonged Cooling
2020 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), 2020The impact of global warming on personal health is a growing concern, as high temperatures can cause heat stress disorders. Personal cooling systems are a promising solution in environments where air conditioning is not available or infeasible such as the outdoor working environment of utility workers, and treatment of hyperthermia for athletes ...

Personal View: Hot Photons and Cool Optics
Synchrotron Radiation News, 2007Twenty years is a long time, but it seems to me as if it were yesterday when the three of us—Michel Belakhovsky, Christian Riekel and I—first scientists of the Experiments Division (except the directors) at the not yet created European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, living in a temporary and not very solid building, made the last corrections to the ...

An objective method for screening and selecting personal cooling systems based on cooling properties
Applied Ergonomics, 2015A method is proposed for evaluation and selection of a personal cooling system (PCS) incorporating PCS, subject, and equipment weights; PCS run time; user task time; PCS cooling power; and average metabolic rate. The cooling effectiveness method presented is derived from first principles and allows those who select PCSs for specific applications to ...

Biomedical Application Of Aerospace Personal Cooling Systems
Proceedings of the 17th Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference, 2005Personal thermoregulatory systems which are used by astronauts to alleviate thermal stress during extravehicular activity have been applied to the therapeutic management of multiple sclerosis. However, little information is available regarding the physiologic and circulatory changes produced by routine operation of these systems. The objectives of this

Personal-portable Cooling Garment Based on Adsorption Vacuum Membrane Evaporative Cooling
2011A cutting edge man-portable AVMEC cooling garment was demonstrated to be able to provide sufficient cooling for personnel working at mediate activity loads. Studies were first carried out in a well controlled vacuum desiccator at room temperature to elucidate the effects of several key parameters on the performance of an AVEC device, which was similar ...
