3、 used when wearers could be exposed to conditions that renderthe bodys thermoregulatory system inadequate to maintain body core temperature within a safe range.The use of PCS can reduce the possibility of heat stress related physiological disorders and can alsoprovide increased comfort, which in tur

4、n could also result in higher productivity. Cooling needs varygreatly depending on the level of activity, the external temperature and humidity, as well as thepersonal protective equipment worn. The PCS should be selected that is best suited for the specificapplication. Sweating heated manikins prov

These instruments can be used to quantify, in areproducible manner, the cooling rate and cooling duration provided by the PCS while eliminating thevariables associated with human physiology.
