DEVICE FOR SIMULATING THE HUMAN BODY TEMPERATURE AND FACILITATING A METHOD FOR TESTING THE COLOUR INALTERABILITY IN TEXTILES EXPOSED TO HUMAN SWEAT.

摘要

Described is a device for simulating the temperature in human body and facilitating a method for testing the colour inalterability in textiles exposed to human sweat, which refers to the optimization of a testing method regarding the colour inalterability in textiles due to human body transpiration, said method being used in colour, dyed or printed textile fibres. The invention comprises a pump for displacing a fluid contained in a container including a heating element, and two towers: the first for storing fluid and the second for returning the same. Also includes an arrangement of 21 modified platens, an arrangement of 42 hoses for feeding and returning the liquid, a digital pyrometer, a temperature sensor and a timer, further comprising a platen raising system. The whole elements are mounted on a base and covered by a cabinet or chassis. The present invention is an option for providing the textile industry with technological and self-sufficient equipment, allowing a more rigid cont rol in temperature to be obtained and a lower testing time of 90 minutes to be used.
