Abstract:
The use of an efficient personal cooling system in hot environments is becoming increasingly popular, as the increased air temperature provokes thermophysiological discomfort, heat stress, reduced productivity and could lead to several health issues. Different methods and devices for personal and local cooling have been developed over the years. The paper summarises the cooling methods applied in clothing and wearable items: phase-change materials, Peltier elements, evaporative cooling, water cooling and hybrid cooling. The local vs total (of the whole body) cooling is examined. The passive and active colling are analysed in terms of advantages, disadvantages and application.
