[Experimental research on the prediction of human body thermal responses in special hot environment].
The assessment of thermal environment is very important in the research of human body-thermal environment system. On the basis of systematic study, the characteristics and the components of human body-thermal environment system have been analyzed, the stationary mathematical model of human body-thermal environment system was established. Prediction and Assessment System for Thermal Environment (PASTE system) was developed. It consists of thermal environment monitor and simulator based on the IBM PC/XT computer with suitable hardware and software. Thermal environment monitor can measure fifteen parameters continuously including dry bulb temperature, dewpoint temperature, air velocity and thermal radiation in six directions. The simulator can simulate different heat exchange processes of human body-thermal environment system and human thermal responses. PASTE system is integrated with monitor and computer simulator. Test results showed that the differences between experimental result and predicted result were about +/-10%.
