... on the thermal resistances of the four sleeping bag structures. The thermal sensation ratings and the thermal resistances had good consistency. There was a strong correlation between human physiological parameters and thermal sensation evaluation. The male and female have significant differences in thermal...

...Yuying An; Guangbiao Xu; Hua Shen Purpose To have a better understanding of the heat transfer mechanisms in a sleeping bag and to investigate the factors influencing thermal resistance of a down sleeping bag. Design/methodology/approach The mechanism of heat transfer in a sleeping bag...

... temperature, the heating temperature of the foot model was set to 35°C. This test was based on the Chinese national standard GB/T11048-2008. When the thermal resistance was tested, first wear the sample on the foot model and closed the constant temperature and humidity box door. Then, in the test software...

... analysis demonstrated that the weave pattern significantly influences on the thermal properties of woven fabrics. Plain fabric exhibited the lowest thermal resistance and the highest thermal conductivity, and hopsack 2/2(4) weave fabric demonstrated the highest thermal resistance and the lowest thermal...

... was analysed using 3D laser scanning. Findings On the basis of the obtained results it was stated that due to the puckered structure the seersucker fabrics are characterised by high thermal resistance, several times higher than the thermal resistance of typical flat woven fabrics. The seersucker fabrics...

... of textile materials utilized as bed fabrics on air and mass transfer from the human body. Design/methodology/approach – Thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thickness, water vapour permeability and air permeability properties of fabrics were analyzed and statistically evaluated. Thermal...

... fillings) were tested under condition approaching real weather conditions in Middle Europe. Design/methodology/approach – In the paper, modern method of thermal resistance Rct measurement, by Sweating Guarded-Hotplate system, was compared with method of Technical University of Liberec (TUL method...

... a sweating Torso device. Design/methodology/approach – Results from a method comparison study (comparison with the industry-standard sweating guarded hotplate method) and an inter-laboratory comparison study are presented. Findings – A high correlation was observed for thermal resistance...

... – The authors used a thermal manikin and a guarded hot plate to determine the thermal resistance of different textile assemblies and garment featuring plasma-deposited metal-coated insulation and interlayers. Findings – Depending on the exact approach, the authors show that metal coatings can increase...
