Research abstract
Aspen Systems Inc. proposes a novel personal cooling system that uses a vapor compression chiller to circulate cooled water through flow channels in a wearable vest to facilitate improved cooling of personnel in high-temperature environments. The system is designed to cycle coolant delivered to various zones within the vest enabling the body surface to vasodilate in between chilled liquid flow. The system will autonomoously switch circulation from zone to zone without having to switch the refrigerator on and off. Personnel wearing this system are expected to experience improved heat rejection using the proposed compact, lightweight, personal cooler.
