CONCEPTDevelopment and evaluation of different technological approaches for the

stabilization of the soldier's body temperature.

OBJECTIVE

Study the feasibility of a new acclimatisation textile system;

Regarding active and passive technologies that can act as a temperature

regulator;

Taking into account different environment conditions.

-19ºC -6ºC

+28ºC +39ºC

PROJECT RESULTS

Two different technological approaches for the stabilization of the soldier'sbody temperature proposed for Conceptual development and Evaluation:

Architecture 1: 3D fabric structure (Passive); Integrated heating bands(Heating); Ventilation fans (Cooling by convection); coated air channels in the3D; Control system;

Architecture 2: 3D fabric structure (Passive); Peltier elements(Heating/Cooling); Ventilation fans (Convection); coated air channels in the 3D;Control system.
