Design and performance evaluation of firefighting protective suit incorporated with liquid-cooled system
Int J Occup Saf Ergon. 2023 Jul 9:1-19. doi: 10.1080/10803548.2023.2235144. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe liquid-cooled garment with active cooling function can make up for the deficiency of human thermoregulatory system and passive thermal insulation of firefighting protective suit. The fabrics treated by different inlet temperatures and pipeline intervals were applied in the multilayered liquid-cooled fabric assemblies (LCFAs). The heat absorbed by the skin and the second-degree burn time were evaluated by the stored energy test under low heat radiation. Results indicated that the thermal protective performance of th...

Research on dynamic comfort maintenance by measuring lower limb edema and seat pressure during simulated seated sleep in flight
The objective of this research was to study passengers' dynamic comfort maintenance strategy in lower limb postural sifting during seated sleep in flight. Seated sleep during flight that can bring significant discomfort to passengers.-MethodsStudies on seated sleep postures and sitting comfort were conducted. First, forty participants were recruited in the observational research for collecting typical leg postures during seated sleep. Then, an experiment was conducted with the participants simulating seated sleep in the aircraft seat. The changes in lower limb edema and seat pressure in different postures were measured wit...
