Overview

Experiment assesses thermal sensitivity to infrared radiation in different body parts, indicating varied responses influenced by clothing.

Key Points

  • The chest is found to be more sensitive to infrared radiation compared to limbs, demonstrating distinct thermal adaptations.
  • Experiment conducted at 18°C assessed thermal comfort with infrared radiation intensities of 4 and 20 W/m² across five body parts.
  • Questionnaires collected local and overall thermal responses, emphasizing the varying impacts of infrared exposure on different body regions.
  • Analysis of thigh sweating rate introduces a new method to evaluate body part sensitivity to infrared radiation and enhance thermal prediction.
