| Abstract |
5 male subjects underwent climatic chamber tests under conditions designed to enhance differences in heat exchanges due to the pumping effect (air movements through clothing apertures). Results: (1) the clothing insulation determined on a mannequin, even in movement, is greater than the resultant insulation for living subjects; (2) the insulation is not the same for radiant as for convective heat or cold; (3) the pumping effect can increase or decrease the resultant clothing insulation; (4) the clothing insulation is smaller in warmer conditions than in cooler ones; (5) it becomes necessary to make a definite distinction between several kinds of clothing insulation when calculating their values. |
