  Abstract

Cold stimulation from skin-fabric-environment system is one of the important factors that need to consider to design clothing for improving fabric comfort in different environments. In this paper, an innovative fabric heat performance testing instrument was built based on a parallel double hotplate system. The cold stimulation process when fabric covers the hotplate has been described at four stages. Subsequently, the maximum hotplate power ( Pmax), the minimum hotplate temperature ( Tmin) and the fabric equilibrium temperature ( Tf) were used to reflect the transient cold stimulation and fabric equilibrium temperature with the different number of fabric layers, fabric water contents and fiber types. The results showed that as the number of fabric layers increased, the cold sensory of the fabric decreased, but the trend was reversed when the number of fabric layers reached five and the fabric equilibrium temperature was decreased as the number of fabric layers rose from one to five. A rise in fabric water content from 0 to 100% resulted in an increasing coldness. In addition, the equilibrium temperature of the fabric was arranged from high to low in the order of water content of 0% > 100% > 80% > 60% > 40% > 2 0%. For the different fabrics, fiber thermal conductivity helped to reflect its cold sensation, and the equilibrium temperature of the fabric were related to the fabric’s thermal insulation properties.
