Sweating Manikin System

This is some text inside of a div block.

State-of-the-art thermal manikin system combined with a high-precision water dosing system.

Typical split of 22 body zones (can be re-configured depending on needs).

Features & Technical Specifications
  • Male body-shape based on population data 22-30 body zones with independent measurement of skin temperature and heat flux 
  • Analysis of equivalent temperature, global thermal comfort indices and local sensation indices 
  • Calculation of thermal and evaporative resistance of clothing, for the total body or selected zones 
  • Sweating capacity of 0 - 1000 ml/m2/hour 
  • 130 or 260 sweat glands, each individually controlled, enabling a very precise dosing of sweat 
  • Special wicking skin optimizing the distribution of water on the surface of the manikin.
  • Rapid heat-up to setpoint, typically less than 10 min 
  • Unique wire system that eliminates control delay and  ensures a 100% stable set point 
  • A dense 2,2 mm wiring optimized to create a uniform heat loss across the full body surface 
  • Maximum sensitivity with heating wire and sensing only 0,2 mm under the paint 
  • Can be operated in all environments with ambient temperatures ranging from -20 to +50 degrees 
  • Cast in high quality glass fiber with robust joints, covered in a heat conducting compound. 
  • Operated through an intuitive PC SW with a graphical user interface and 4 control modes 
  • Can be placed standing, sitting or laying down depending on the application. 
  • Option to include external breathing system with or without heating and humidification of the exhale air 
  • Complies with all relevant ISO and ASTM standards

Software specifications: 

  • Automatic logging of data in a .csv file, with adjustable frequency 
  • Interface for setting up data exchange with external systems 
  • Configuration and calibration controlled through the SW 
  • Measurements, analysis and data logging per body zone 
  • Visualization of body zone T, heat flux or Teq 
  • Dynamic graphs showing heat flux and skin T 
  • Automatic stability indication to detect steady state 
  • 4 operational control modes 
  • Displays settings for/results from ambient sensors and devices 
  • Interface language – English. 
  • Compatible to all Windows versions.
