Sweating Thermal Manikin - Test Equipment
Walter sweating manikins are designed with high accuracy to replicate people’s responses to different environmental conditions, including temperature variations, humidity levels, and airflow effects. This makes them a vital tool for industries aiming to optimize thermal comfort and thermal regulation in products and spaces.Other manikins the simulation of sweating is usually limited by the number of practically manageable sweat glands. Notably the number of sweat glands in each of these manikins is far fewer than the number of sweat glands actually exists in human body [the total number of sweat glands in human body is nearly 6 million (i.e., 100–400 sweat glands/cm2 of body part, depending on the body part)]. Furthermore, these manikins cannot maintain the consistent sweating, which leads to inaccurately determine the humidity on the surface of the manikin. Additionally, these manikins are expensive due to their complicated control systems for heating and water supply. “Walter” is the first inexpensive but accurate sweating thermal manikin that is developed mainly by water and high strength breathable (i.e., water impermeable but water vapor or moisture permeable) fabric, i.e., polytetrafluroethylene Gortex membrane.
