Study on the Cooling Effect by Evaporation of Spraying Mist at Human Body Surface

Abstract

Focusing on spraying mist as countermeasure to reduce the heat stress of human in thermal environment, the experiments to evaluate the effect of cooling the human body by evaporating on the surface were carried out. From the experiment using the SAT meter, we tried to quantify the mitigating effect of thermal environment by simulated sweating of spraying mist by calculating the amount of latent heat due to evaporation on the human body surface.
