Multi-loop liquid cooling garments (LCGs) offer superior thermal comfort during exercise heat stress compared to single-loop systems. Independent zone control and skin temperature regulation enhance effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Human thermal physiology
  • Wearable cooling technology
  • Exercise science

Background:

  • Exercise in hot environments poses significant heat stress risks.
  • Liquid cooling garments (LCGs) are used to manage thermal strain during physical activity.
  • Optimizing LCGs for diverse body regions is crucial for comfort and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of multi-loop liquid cooling garments (LCGs) under exercise heat stress.
  • To compare the performance of a triple-loop LCG with single-loop systems.
  • To evaluate the application of skin temperature control in multi-loop LCG systems.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental investigation using a triple-loop LCG in a controlled hot environment (35°C/40% RH).
  • Two experimental series: one with local thermal sensation-based temperature adjustments, another with skin temperature controller regulation.

  • Inclusion of rest, 70 W, and 110 W exercise conditions on an ergometer.
  • Theoretical analysis using a mathematical model of human thermoregulation.

    • Main Results:

    • Multi-loop LCGs provide superior thermal sensation and comfort compared to single-loop LCGs.
    • Independent cooling of torso, arms, and legs in a triple-loop system meets varied regional demands.
    • Skin temperature controllers are effectively applicable to multi-loop LCG systems.
    • Targeted cooling of leg muscles offers significant thermoregulatory benefits during low-intensity exercise.

    Conclusions:

    • Multi-loop LCGs represent an advanced approach to thermal management during exercise heat stress.
    • Adaptive control strategies, including skin temperature regulation, enhance LCG functionality.
    • Optimal LCG configuration and control are application-specific, requiring tailored design for maximum benefit.
