TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - The effect of personal cooling systems on performance under heat stress JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Zakay, Dan A1 - Shapiro, Yair A1 - Epstein, Yoram A1 - Bril, Shay SP - 128 EP - 131 VL - 26 IS - 2 N2 - The effect of personal cooling systems on performance under heat stress was examined. Nine subjects were tested in severe heat stress conditions with seven types of personal cooling systems. It was found that, excluding the fan cooling system, all personal cooling systems enabled better performance as compared to performance under heat stress conditions without such a system. However, differences on several parameters among the various cooling systems were found. These differences are analyzed and the future development of such systems is discussed.
