Abstract:

In order to reveal the mechanism of the ventilation clothing thermal comfort and explain the relationship of the heat and mass transfer between the ventilation clothing and the human body, the paper first introduced the origin and the working principle of the ventilation clothing and then explained the studying methods of the ventilation clothing thermal comfort by analyzing and concluding related researches of home and abroad. The studying methods included sweating thermal manikin measurements, human trials and mathematic models. The advantages and disadvantages of these studying methods were discussed. Results show that the mechanism of the thermal comfort of the ventilation clothing is an interdisciplinary engineering issue integrating environmental heat transfer, human physiological heat transfer, textile and clothing heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Finally, the paper prospected future researches of the ventilation clothing. Future researches will include accurate measurements of the air flow, the construction of the numerical models and the local and overall thermal comfort caused by the ventilation, etc.

Key words: ventilation clothing, thermal comfort, sweating thermal manikin, human trial
