Abstract

Men wearing two types of clothing were seated within the space enclosed by three low-temperature radiant-cooling panels (total area 72 sq.ft.) arranged as three sides of a square in an air-conditioned room which was maintained at dry-bulb 92°F., wet-bulb 84°F., with an air speed of 20 ft./min. to 30 ft./min. The cooling surfaces of the panels were maintained at
either 17°F. or 42°F. and provided a radiant-heat exchange with the subjects ranging, according to their position, from 180 B.t.u./hr. to 380 B.t.u./hr.
There was a progressive diminution of thermal discomfort with increased radiant cooling, but, in the severe conditions of the test, a satisfactory degree of comfort was not achieved for the majority of the subjects, even in the case of maximum radiant-cooling. However, it is considered that, in more favourable circumstances, the method could be successfully used· to provide adequate amelioration· of the ambient heat stress.
