Abstract:

To facilitate dynamic regulation of thermal insulating property of cold protective clothing, an air inflatable jacket, branded as Mountain, with air as thermal insulating material was developed, with air inflation and hence the thermal insulation being achieved by pressing the air pump manually. The local and total thermal insulation of the developed air inflatable jacket was tested by thermal manikin with four air inflation volumes, with or without sleeves and whether or not to wear fleece. Meanwhile, the thermal insulating properties of Mountain were compared with that of air inflatable jacket NuDown. The results showed that the local and total thermal insulation of air inflatable jacket Mountain in the inflated condition are obviously higher than that when not inflated, and the thermal insulation become more obvious when increasing the air inflation volume. The adjustment ability for thermal insulation of the newly developed air inflatable jacket Mountain is better than that of NuDown under the inflated condition. The local and total thermal insulation effects of air inflatable jacket with sleeves are significantly higher than those without sleeves, and the differences are especially notable at the abdomen and back. It is also shown that the thermal insulation of the inflatable jacket provide better thermal insulation when a fleece is worn in conjunction, but it greatly affect the adjustment ability.

Key words: cold protective clothing, air inflatable jacket, thermal insulating property, local thermal insulation, total thermal insulation, thermal manikin
