Personal cooling garments: a review
The Journal of The Textile Institute, 2014Personal cooling garments have been developed to reduce the risk of heat stress and heat-related injuries in hot environments. The human body can suffer from a kind of heat stress resulting in reduced working endurance and performance and an increased risk of heat illness when exposed to hot climates.

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract This paper reports development of a personal cooling belt using a short vortex tube. The vortex tube uses compressed air as the working substance and converts about half of it into a cold stream which circulates in the waist belt. Trials conducted on various individuals resulted in satisfactory performance.
