The effects of ambient air temperature on the clothing ventilation were investigated numerically by a finite difference method. Numerical analysis using a 2-dimensional model comprising the air space between the skin and the clothing was conducted under the assumption that the clothing ventilation occurred only through the openings not through the fabric. The larger the temperature difference between the skin and the surroundings, the more apparent the thermal boundary layer As the ambient air temperature decreased, the air flow and the rate of the return of oxygen concentration to the atmosphere level in the clothing increased. Convection was dominant under low ambient air temperature, whereas conduction was dominant under high ambient air temperature. The ventilation rate was faster in the clothing microenvironment of the body part than that of the arm part.

본 연구의 목적은 계절별 의복을 착용하고 쾌적한 상태를 유지하는 동안 불감체중손실과 온열 생리적 요소들간의 관련성을 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국의 계절별 실내 환경이 인공기후실에 조성되었고 (봄/가을 환경 기온 평균 22.5, 여름 24.7, 겨울 16.8), 설문조사를 바탕으로 총 26 종의 계절별 한벌의복이 선정되었다(봄/가을 옷 8종, 여름 옷 7종, 겨울 옷 11종). 다섯 명의 젊은 여성이 피험자로 참여하였으며, 결과는 다음과 같다: 1) 불감체중손실(IL)은 봄/가을 의복을 착용한 경우 $19{\pm}5g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr$, 여름 옷 $21{\pm}5g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr$, 겨울 옷 $18{\pm}6g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr$으로, 겨울 환경보다 여름 환경에서 더 컸다(p<.001). 2) 호흡기를 통한 불감수분손실(IWR)은 불감체중손실과 반대의 경향을 보여 주어, 겨울옷을 입은 경우 $6{\pm}1g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr$, 여름 옷을 입은 경우 $5{\pm}1g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr$ 였다(p<.001). 3) 불감수분손실 (IW)에서 호흡기를 통한 불감수분손실이 차지하는 비중은 여름 옷을 착용한 경우 평균 28%, 겨울 의복의 경우 38%였다(p<.001). 4) 쾌적한 상태에서, 산열량 중 불감수분손실이 차지하는 비율은 봄/가을 의복을 착용한 경우 25%, 여름옷의 경우 27%, 겨울옷의 경우 23%였다. 5) 불감체중손실과 의복의 보온력 간, 그리고 불감체중손실과 피복면적 간에는 모두 약한 역상관 관계가 관찰되었다. 6) 불감체중손실은 기온, 기습, 에너지 대사, 환기량, 평균피부온도, 의복내 습도 등의 요소와 유의한 상관을 보였으나, 상관계수들은 모두 0.5 이하였다. 결론적으로, 불감체중손실과 온열 생리 요인들 간에는 약한 상관이 존재했으나, 피험자들이 온열 쾌적을 유지하는 경우 착용한 의복 종류 및 노출 기온에 상관없이 불감체중손실량은 좁은 범위를 유지했다.

The ventilation efficiency of clothing was investigated by a trace gas method using a manikin wearing an impermeable overall under an isothermal condition, where the ventilation occurred only through the openings by diffusion. The ventilation patterns were different for each part of the body. The ventilation efficiency in the clothing microenvironment of the arm and the leg greatly depended on the distance from each opening when the wrist- or the ankle-opening was opened. When both side of wrist- or ankle-openings were opened to provide the opening area double respectively, the ventilation efficiency did not correspondingly increase twice, as compared one side opened. Even though it as certainly affected by the opening area, the ventilation efficiency was more significantly influenced by the position of openings.

Effects of the ambient air temperature and the opening position on the pattern of the clothing ventilation of a thermal manikin wearing an impermeable blouse were investigated by the trace gas method. Under an isothermal condition, the ventilation was governed by diffusion, and the ventilation rate through the wrist-openings was greatly affected by the distance from the openings. Under non-isothermal conditions, however, the ventilation was accelerated by the convection driven by the temperature gradient between the clothing microclimate and the surrounding air; the greater the temperature gradient, the greater the ventilation. Even though it was certainly affected by the ambient air temperature, the ventilation rate was more significantly influenced by the position of openings. The ventilation patterns at the arm and the body were distinctive.

Clothing ventilation was investigated using a manikin wearing an impermeable overall under an isothermal condition, in which the ventilation occurred only through the openings. The ventilation volume was estimated by both microenvironment volume and ventilation rate, where, the microenvironment volume was measured by an air subsitution method and the ventilation rate by a trace gas method. Microenvironment volume of the experimental garment was about 21.0 liters. Even though it was certainly affected by the distance from the opening, the ventilation rate was more significantly influenced by the opening area and the shape of air layer in the clothing. The volume of air exchange in the clothing microenvironment was affected greatly by the microenvironment volume and the opening area, and it was different for each part of the body with bigger air exchange volume in the microenvironment of the leg as compared to that of the arm.

This study establishes basic data for the development of a new Chemical, Biological, and Radioactive (CBR) protective clothing by selecting the ventilation position to optimize thermal comfort on the basis of the opening and closing of each part. Participants were eight men in their 20s who had previously worn CBR protective clothing. After vigorous exercise and perspiration, the microclimate of the clothing and skin temperature was measured. Results revealed that when the ventilation zipper was opened after exercising, the skin and clothing microclimate temperatures, which had increased during the exercise, decreased in the chest and shoulder blade regions. The clothing microclimate humidity decreased in the chest area. The change was greatest in the chest region; the skin temperature decreased by 0.2℃, the clothing microclimate temperature by 2.7℃, and the clothing microclimate humidity by 3.2%RH through ventilation. Thus, the opening that allows the exchange of accumulated heat and moisture while wearing the CBR protective clothing is efficient.
