Heat loss from a thermal manikin during wet tests with walking simulation

Summary, in English

The walking tests with a thermal manikin TORE were carried out with THERMPROTECT WP2 clothing. The test conditions simulated the human tests of the same work package, including ambient conditions (10 and 25 °C), clothing (impermeable and permeable), wetting of cotton underwear (wet and dry) and setting the walking speed to approximately the same level. Additional tests in homogenous conditions (Ta=Tsk=34 °C) were carried out. The results agree with previous studies and form a good basis for further analysis together with human test results.
