Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a method to measure quantitatively the rate of evaporative heat loss from the skin surface for the evaluation of thermal conditions in hyperbaric helium environment. The characteristics of a measuring device proposed, Vapor Flow Meter, are tested, and the rate of local skin evaporation of two sedentary subjects are measured by using the proposed device in 4 ATA environment. Based on observed data, the relationship between thermal sensation votes, skin wettedness and mean skin temperature is discussed.
