reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADP012422 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The optimum to regulate the temperature and humidity while wearing protective clothing is to be - in the applied technique - as close as possible to the physiological way of thermoregulation. The Full Coverage Protection suit is very close to this aim, several tests under high g, water immersion, cold water, cold air, heat and BC show very promissing results.
