摘要

In hot environments, protective clothing can become wet from wearer perspiration inside the garment and possibly from exterior water sources. The role of wet clothing in affecting wearer comfort and thermal protection is not well characterized. Under some circumstances, water-laden clothing assists in evaporative cooling and adds extra heat absorbing capacity in high heat conditions. Under different circumstances, wet clothing can become heavy, impede moisture transfer, and more easily conduct heat from the outside environment. This paper describes special radiant testing of a composite fabric technology that has been designed to incorporate water-retaining polymer strands into a fibrous batting. This polymer evenly suspends water throughout the material construction in a manner that provides for evenly distributed cooling performance and heat absorption. The batting is combined with an exterior woven fabric shell and a conductive, microporous based lining that helps transfer heat away from the body and permit water vapor transfer. Early testing also indicated improvements in thermal insulation for high heat environments. In order to attain the enhanced performance, the material must be prewetted before wearing. Since the addition of water to material systems is known to have varying effects on heat transfer and protection offered by clothing, the study described in this paper was undertaken to investigate the role of moisture in the clothing in providing thermal protection. The study compared the performance of one clothing material composite incorporating the water-retaining polymer strands against a standard composite using conventional material technology. On the basis of radiant testing with the measurement of calorimeter temperature rise, thermocouple temperature response and moisture transfer (by weight gain), improved thermal insulation was found for the new material technology when wetted (to provide activation of its principally intended cooling capacity). In contrast, the standard composite showed lower thermal insulation performance at various levels of moisture compared to testing when dry. This study helps to demonstrate the benefits for the combination of increased thermal protection with improved thermal comfort. This combination affords possible improvements in worker protection and productivity. As such the technical can overcome the limitation of many current material technologies where there is usually a significant tradeoff between wearer comfort and protection.
