International Journal of Refrigeration, 1982
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.

Readdressing Personal Cooling With Ice
AIHAJ, 1986An ice-based system of personal, non-restrictive cooling of workers exposed to high temperature work environments in nuclear power plants was evaluated. The garments were designed to be worn under the protective clothing donned for penetration into radiation areas.

Personalized Cooling System Using Phase Change Materials
Key Engineering Materials, 2021The most widely used personal protective system against heat stress is cooling vest that contains phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage. PCMs have the property of absorbing/releasing heat when they change their phase at their melting point.

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 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.

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 ...
