  Abstract

In this research, the thermoregulation behavior of layered arrangement of fabric containing microencapsulated phase change materials (mPCMs) is mathematically modeled based on a previously developed theoretical model of monolayer fabric—mPCMs. This work considers a thermal range for mPCMs instead of just a melting point. The skin temperature is calculated for a simulated situation when a person moves from 35 to 0 °C atmosphere. The results show that the location of layers containing mPCMs has the primary effect on skin temperature. This study defines the effectiveness intensity index (EII) and effectiveness time index (ETI) to describe the dynamic thermal behavior of fabric settings. The proposed model, which is also validated by experimental results, can be used to estimate the thermal behavior of clothing systems containing mPCMs and design protective clothing systems with proper dynamic thermal insulation for different climates. This study presents the model that can be useful for design the garment layers containing mPCMs. Due to considering the melting range instead of just melting point for mPCMs, it seems that this simple model can predict the thermal behavior of garments close to real condition.
