Corrugated Multilayer Structures Ensuring Thermal Insulation in Extreme Climatic Conditions

Original language description

For extreme climatic conditions, it is important to provide clothing comfort as well as protection against cold and wind. This clothing must have very good thermal insulating properties and also be wind-proof to a great degree. However, thermal control and windproof clothing bring further difficulties due to the fact that presently designed ones accommodate the metabolic activities of human beings leading to the generation or loss of body heat. Thermal insulation depends critically on protecting structures‘ geometry and materials used but usually are not involving the energy of a natural heat generator, i.e., the human body. This lecture aims to develop and characterize advanced corrugated fibrous structures prepared by unique ROTIS technology enabling tune thickness and porosity due to corrugation. For ensuring the reflection of far infrared radiation produced by the human body, the composite nonwovens layer (Meftex) with deposition of copper nanoparticles is attached. By ROTIS technology, the three layers of structures composed of acrylic nonwoven web covering the inner Meftex layer are combined into the final structure. The developed structure is characterized by thermal insulation from conductive convective and radiative heat transfer modes. The hot plate system Alambeta and C-Therm thermal conductivity analyzer (TCi) are used to measure the basic thermal properties like thermal conductivity, resistance, and effusivity s at subzero temperatures. The distribution of velocity currents in a two-dimensional array in a flowing fluid is measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) to study heat transfer by convection. The special tunnel simulating the total heat loss of textiles below freezing temperatures is used. The reduction of heat transport by the back reflection of far infrared radiation is observed using a homemade system with a thermo camera. A prediction system for thermal insulation efficiency is created.
