Abstract: Thermal Manikin is equipped with heating wire as internal heat source to simulate the human body heat emissions and test thermal resistance of clothes, whose surface temperature uniformity is demanding. To find out the main factors of uniformity temperature and meet the requirement of uniformity temperature, this article gives strategies of laying heating wire and temperature measure method. Spacing intervals between heating wires and distribution law of surface temperature have been obtained through comparison experiments. Furthermore, how much the thickness of simulating skin and the side boundary condition influence on temperature uniformity are analyzed. Therefore, some resolutions are brought up to decline the influences mentioned above. Further researches on this project are based on this.

Key words: thermal manikin, heating wire, temperature, uniformity
