Development of a Walk-able Sweating Fabric Manikin for Simulation of Dynamic Heat and Moisture Vapour Transfer from Clothed Man
In this paper, a walk - able sweating fabric manikin - Walter has been developed for simulation of dynamic heat and moisture vapour transfer from clothed body. Walter has a similar weight and heat capacity to a human body and simulates human temperature regulation. Based on the data of 32 sets of clothing ensembles measured on the walk-able sweating manikin under 6 levels of wind velocities and 4 levels of walking speeds. the surface and total clothing thermal insulation and moisture vapour resistance were found to decrease with increase of wind velocity and walking speed, and the reduction ratio also decrease with increase of wind velocity and walking speed. The effect of walking motion can be regarded as an equivalent air velocity; the effect of walking speed is equivalent to 45％ and 180％ of the wind velocity on the surface and total thermal insulation and moisture vapour resistance, respectively.
