Experimental study on comfortable skin temperature under sweating condition

The two existing equations calculating comfortable skin temperature have large deviations in results. Conducts experiments to determine the accuracy of these equations. Tests the skin temperature under sweating condition, and investigates thermal sensation and sweating condition by questionnaires. By analysing the comfortable skin temperature and thermal sensation for three levels of activities, establishes a linear correlation between comfortable skin temperature and metabolic rate. This relation is closer to Gonzalez’s equation, while Fanger’s equation is found to have large deviation at higher metabolic rates.
