Thermal protection study of bladder compensatory suit using a heat transfer model.

BACKGROUND: The bladder compensatory suit (BCS) is important individual protective equipment for pilots' activities in a high-flying environment. The layout and thermal diffusion ability of the bladder directly affects the thermal comfort of pilots in flight. OBJECTIVE: (1) Established and verified...

      ab: BACKGROUND: The bladder compensatory suit (BCS) is important individual protective equipment for pilots' activities in a high-flying environment. The layout and thermal diffusion ability of the bladder directly affects the thermal comfort of pilots in flight. OBJECTIVE: (1) Established and verified a human-compensatory suit-environment heat transfer model; (2) Used the model to study the human thermal variation of each segment in hot conditions and clothing. METHODS: To verify the two-dimensional heat transfer model, simulated data of body temperature were compared with experimental results under the same conditions (AT: 40/45◦C, ordinary clothing). The model could be used to calculate the temperature variation of each body segment in three environments temperature (28◦C, 35◦C and 40◦C) and three types of clothing (naked, ordinary clothing, BCS). RESULTS: The results showed that: (1) the bladder significantly affected sweating speed and skin temperature, as well as core temperature; (2) the skin temperature of the area covered by the bladder was difficult to reduce by the thermal regulation system. It was because sweat secretion was inhibited, thus, to limit evaporation. CONCLUSIONS: The model could be used as a reference for the thermal protection design of bladder compensatory suit. SUMMARY: The bladder compensatory suit (BCS) is important individual protective equipment for pilots activities in a high-flying environment, and its layout directly affects the thermal comfort. Based on a two-dimensional thermal regulation system model, a body-clothing-environment heat transfer model was established. The model was used to calculate the temperature and sweat variation of each body segment in different environments and clothing.
