A Personal conditioning system based on a liquid-conditioned vest and a thermoelectric supply system / G. Richardson... [et al.]
Sumario: A personal conditioning system has been developed for RFA air crew. It employs a liquid-conditioned vest covering the torso and upper arms. The liquid sypply system uses thermoelectric elements to provide either heating or cooling. The system has been subjected to a number of environmental tests. It has been shown to be capable of extracting 150 W from a human subject in an ambient temperature of 40ºC and at altitudes of 10000 feet. Further physiological tests have shown that this is sufficient to control body temperature in environments where heat stress would otherwise have occurred
