Study on the Effect of TPR Simulated Skin on Water Cooling Garment

Abstract:

A novel TPR simulated skin was applied in the system of thermal manikin and water cooling garment, and the satisfying result in improving the heat dissipating efficiency of water cooling garment was achieved. Firstly, five kinds of elastomer were selected as candidate simulated skin. To evaluate the synthetic performance of these materials, a series of experiments characterizing material's mechanical and thermodynamic properties was performed, including stiffness test, heat property test, TGA test and so on. Then, fuzzy mathematic method was employed to perform synthetic evaluation, which showed that TPR had satisfying optimization performance and can be used as simulated skin. Finally, to verify the function of TPR simulated skin to increase water cooling garment's heat dissipating efficiency, comparative experiments were performed in climate chamber. Results show that TPR simulated skin can effectively improve water cooling garment's heat dissipating efficiency measured by thermal manikin.
