Abstract:

In order to improve the thermal comfort of workers in the high-temperature outdoor environment in summer, the heat transfer process between the clothing and the environment in the high-temperature outdoor environment was analyzed. Through the analysis on the heat transfer process among the human body, clothing and the environment, a heat transfer model of ventilated clothing in high-temperature outdoor environment exposed to the sunlight was established, which was validated through a human subjects experiment, where the ventilation clothing is analyzed for changes in underclothing space air parameters and in subjective reflections of the human subjects. The results show that the errors in heat gain and heat loss obtained using the model are only 9.1% compared to the experimental results, and the surface temperature of the body stabilizes in about 10 min. When the cooled air is supplied into the under clothing space, the temperature and humidity of the air in the space under clothing are lower than that not ventilated. The existence of forced convection greatly increases the evaporation rate of sweat on the body surface, and the subjective heat and skin moistness are significantly improved.

Key words: ventilation clothing, heat transfer model, under clothing ventilation, thermal sensation, high-temperature outdoor environment
