  Abstract

Spacer fabric (SF) as an ideal candidate for steam protective clothing, provides outstanding thermal insulation and moisture permeability owing to its sandwich structure. This study developed 14 spacer fabric systems (SFSs) and investigated the efects of 4 SF design parameters, including heat setting, spacer yarn fneness, feeding structure, and top layer structure, on thermal comfort. Furthermore, the quantitative relationship between thermal comfort and steam protective performance of SFSs was explored. The results demonstrated that thermal resistance (Rcf) and evaporative resistance (Ref) of SFSs increased with the increasing of monoflament fneness, whereas increasing the fneness from 30 to 50 D had a negligible infuence. The feeding structure displayed a greater impact on the thermal comfort than monoflament fneness, and the Rcf and Ref showed the sequence of feeding structure I
