| Abstract: | Cooling efficiency of selected underwear knits in the simulated condition of
fabric wetting by means of single sweating pulse has been experimentally
investigated. The method is based on non-traditional use of the small skin
model Permetest with a very short time of measurement. Cooling efficiency has
been calculated as the product of cooling heat flow and wet area after
application of 0.5 mL of water on the fabric surface to simulate the sweating
impulse. It is found that
the highest cooling level is exhibited by the knitted fabrics containing
polyester filaments with grooved surface, which conducts the liquid moisture
along the fabric plane. |
