Medición en vestuario médico: Metodología, diseño y fabricación de equipo para cálculo del confort en textiles de uso clínico

Abstract

Abstract

This paper is part of the research project “Development and manufacture of scrub” in phase 2. It presents the preliminary development of a thermoregulatory machine that determines the comfort of garments (thermal resistance and evaporative resistance) under the technical standards used in the production of these products in the market. The thermoregulatory machine is built according to the ISO 11092:1993 guidelines. It executes a control algorithm in the relative humidity variable, temperature and flow rate to sustain and simulate the conditions and effects of the skin. The results are displayed on a touch screen interface to determine the variations in the process and ensure the convergence of the values present.
