[Correction of the thermal status of the human body in threatened overheating]

The correction of the human organism thermal state was performed by means of the heat withdrawal from different parts of the body in conditions of overheating in a thermal chamber at 38-39 degrees C. Three series of trials were carried out. The 1st series involved blowing air of 18-24 degrees C at the hands in amount of 54 l/min which improved the thermal state of the subjects. The 2nd series involved passing of water through pipes put over shanks and feet (1.5 l/min), the temperature of the pipes surface being 15-18 degrees C. The improvement of the thermal state was the same as in the former series. The 3rd series combined both ways of cooling and induced the sensation of "comfort" or "coolness" in the subjects. The temperature in external auditory canal, the average skin temperature and the average body temperature dropped.
