16-Zone Thermal Manikin (Dry Type)
The 16-zone thermal manikin is a high-precision experimental device designed to simulate human heat and moisture exchange with the surrounding environment. By reproducing human metabolic heat generation and body surface temperature distribution, the manikin provides reliable data for research on thermal environments in clothing, buildings, vehicles, and aerospace cabins. It is mainly used to evaluate human thermal comfort, thermal protective performance of clothing, and the effectiveness of HVAC systems, and is especially suitable as a substitute for human subjects in high-risk thermal physiology experiments.
Application
Simulation of human heat sources in vehicles and vessels, including buses, passenger cars, new energy vehicles, high-speed rail carriages, ships, and submarines;
Thermal comfort testing and evaluation of building HVAC systems;
Research on indoor thermal regulation performance in office buildings, residential buildings, public buildings, and test chambers;
Thermal environment testing of air-conditioning systems for automobiles, rail transit, and special vehicles;
Thermal performance evaluation of protective clothing, functional garments, workwear, and occupational apparel;
Measurement of clothing thermal resistance (Clo value) and evaporative resistance;
Universities, research institutes, third-party testing organizations, and enterprise R&D laboratories;
HVAC education and research, including indoor thermal comfort and airflow distribution studies;
Clothing thermal resistance testing to evaluate thermal protection under different environments;
Thermal source simulation for aerospace cabins, including aircraft, helicopters, space stations, and re-entry capsules;
Research related to human thermal balance and thermal physiology.
