Individual Cooling Systems Results and Quantified Performances Using all Objective Method
Abstract
The evaluation of individual thermal assistance equipment can be quantified through numerous parameters. However, to assert efficiency and interest for a military user under tropical climate, it is necessary to follow a quantifying method. This process of existing and prototyped measurements, based on simulations, with a dummy man and tests with voluntary subjects, using a scale of comparison. It has been clearly defined and used to evaluate of more as 10 systems, It allows to know the limits of each technology and the actual perspectives for equipment that are really suitable for the user. This original method based on operational ergonomic and technical criteria take into account weight, efficiency linked with the work load, infrared and sound signature, life as well as the logistic needed for the use of these different equipment. A complementary study of commercially available equipment, allows to compare and classify these equipment according to the same method. It allows the user to choose a suitable equipment to put eventually in service for overseas forces.
