ShareTHE STEREOTHERMOMETER: A NEW INSTRUMENT FOR HYGROTHERMAL CONSTITUENT NONUNIFORMITY EVALUATION.
Author(s) : JOKL M. V.
Summary
THE NONUNIFORMITY OF THE HYGROTHERMAL MICROCLIMATE (NUN) IS DEFINED, AS IS A NEW INSTRUMENT FOR ITS ESTIMATION: THE STEREOTHERMOMETER. IT IS A GLOBE WITH A HIGH-EMISSIVITY SURFACE SEPARATED INTO 6 SEGMENTS WHOSE TEMPERATURES ARE CALLED STEREOTEMPERATURES. THE NUN CAN BE CALCULATED FROM THEIR CORRESPONDING DIFFERENCE. COMPARED WITH THE LATEST WAY OF EVALUATION BY MEANS OF < RADIANT TEMPERATURE ASYMMETRY >, THE ADVANTAGES ARE EVIDENT: (1) RADIANT HEAT, CONVECTIVE HEAT (AS DOES THE HUMAN BODY) ; (2) EFFECT OF CLOTHING, AIR VELOCITY, ADAPTATION, SUBJECT'S ACTIVITY AND EXPOSURE TIME ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ; (3) THE RADIANT HUMAN BODY HEAT STRESS DISTRIBUTION CAN BE ESTIMATED.
