Application & Function
The Thermal Sweating Manikin Tester simulates both dry heat exchange (conduction, convection, and radiation) and wet heat exchange (evaporation and sweating) between the human body, clothing, and the environment. This allows for scientific evaluation of the thermal performance of garments or environmental conditions. It replaces real human testing, offering high precision and good repeatability, while ensuring the homogenization and datamation of perceptual annotations. This tester plays a crucial role in the development and production of functional fabrics and garments, while also analyzing the environmental impact on human comfort.
Field Application
The Thermal Sweating Manikin Tester is widely used across industries such as textile, construction, and transportation for:
Performance Verification: Assessing the thermal and perspiration performance of new products.
Quality Control: Ensuring the functionality of materials and garments in production settings.
Third-Party Testing: Ideal for performance verification by external testing labs and quality control departments.
Key Functions:
Simulates the heat exchange process between the body and the environment, covering both dry and wet heat exchange mechanisms.
Evaluates the thermal insulation (Clo value) and vapor resistance of clothing, providing essential data for material and garment performance.
Assesses environmental conditions impacting human comfort, aiding in the design of comfortable wearable fabrics.

Key Features
Smart Control System:
Equipped with a microcomputer control system and a 15-inch color LCD touch screen, the tester offers zone control, automatic steady-state detection, real-time monitoring, and display of test conditions and results.
Versatile Test Modes:
The tester supports four operational modes: constant temperature, variable temperature, constant power, and variable power tests, providing flexibility for different testing requirements.
Multi-Directional Protection Design:
Includes automatic water supply, drainage, hydration after sweating, dry burning protection, and leakage protection to ensure both equipment and personnel safety.
Advanced Structure & Materials:
The manikin is made from a micro-porous waterproof material that simulates human skin, enabling active evaporation and sweating. It provides high durability without corrosion or rust, with customizable heating sections to simulate temperature differences across the body.
Wide Range of Postures:
The manikin can be positioned in multiple states such as standing, sitting, or walking, and the clothes can be easily disassembled for various testing needs.
