Revolutionizing Structural Firefighter Turnout Suits: Improving the Physiological Comfort of Protective Clothing Systems

摘要

1 Ventilation and modularity demonstrate significant improvements in heat loss and indicate a reduction in the onset of heat strain 2 Wide window of optimization exists between the Control turnout and benefits in physiological comfort realized by the USAR and Venting prototypes 3 A manikin THL benchmark of approx. 150 W/m~2 was established for improved physiological comfort for the turnouts in this study.
