A NEW SIMPLER METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE THERMAL INSULATION OF A CLOTHING ENSEMBLE.

Author(s) : OLESEN B. W.

Summary

INSTEAD OF DESCRIBING THE THERMAL INSULATION OF A SINGLE GARMENT BY MEANS OF THE BASIC THERMAL INSULATION, IT IS PROPOSED TO USE THE EFFECTIVE THERMAL INSULATION. THE BASIC THERMAL INSULATION OF A CLOTHING ENSEMBLE IS SIMPLY ESTIMATED AS THE SUM OF THE EFFECTIVE INSULATION FOR THE SINGLE GARMENTS. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE IS THAT WHEN EXPRESSING THE INSULATION OF A SINGLE GARMENT BY THE EFFECTIVE INSULATION IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PERFORM THE DIFFICULT MEASUREMENT OF THE INCREASED CLOTHING AREA FACTOR.
