ENGINEERING RESEARCH PROTOTYPE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS FOR THERMALIBRIUM CLOTHING
Abstract
The results of material optimization, fabrication techniques and the fabrication of prototype air distribution systems for thermalibrium clothing are summarized. The engineering research effort was ac- complished in two work phases. The initial phase was directed to the testing of materials, the development of fabrication techniques and the fabrication to two prototype systems for design, verification testing at U.S. Army Natick Laboratories. The second phase of the program involved the modification of patterns, and the fabrication of 34 air distribution systems on a modified production basis. The counter- flow system of distributing ventilating and/ or con-conditioned air for protective clothing can be manufactured under standard production methods, using commercially available materials.
