Abstract:

In order to improve the understanding of human thermal sensation, this paper reviewed the research on mechanism of human thermal sensation. The review was conducted in three aspects: the characteristic parameters of environmental temperature step, the changing way of thermal sensation and the thermal sensation prediction model. The study on environmental temperature step change was focused on the small and medium steps in temperature difference. From the perspective of thermal comfort, 5 ℃ was found to be the maximum acceptable temperature difference threshold of the two environmental temperature step. Dynamic thermal sensation was related to skin temperature, core temperature and their rates of change. The existing thermal sensation models demonstrated high prediction accuracy, but their applicability under the sudden change of temperature between cold and hot environment remained to be optimized and verified through a large scale of human experiments. The review indicated that it is necessary to extend the application scope of environmental temperature step research to special high-temperature workers, to establish temperature step intensity classification rules, to refine the role of clothing under temperature step, and to establish a more applicable thermal sensation prediction model.

Key words: temperature step change, thermal sensation prediction model, cutaneous thermoreceptors, rate of skin temperature change
