Usage of pouches with phase change materials (PCMs) to increase the thermal performance of a firefighter jacket - development and thermal behaviour evaluation of the multilayer system
Abstract:The growth in size and duration of wildland fires in recent years and the increasingly demand for high-performance protective clothing, has led Thermal Protective Clothing (TPC) research and development to seek solutions to minimise firefighter thermal load and skin burns. In this context, the present work was developed under the framework of the DIF-Jacket project (https://difjacketproject.fe.up.pt), with the main goal being the development of a new multilayer system with phase change materials (PCMs) to be u… Show more
