Abstract
In order to evaluate the manifestations and parameters of latent heat during the regulation of human thermal comfort comprehensively and accurately, the research and application of human skin sweating rate at home and abroad based on two methods of sensible sweating and insensible sweating was reviewed. The measurement methods and local and total sweating rate in different environments were introduced. The ventilated sweat capsules and absorbent sweat patch technique were used commonly, and no significant difference exists between the results test by the two ways when the human body movement reaches a stable condition. The area of the highest sweating rate is the trunk, the highest rate of non-primary sweating rate is the hands and feet. The local non-primary sweat rate range is from 0.02 to 0.07 mg/(cm2•min). The distribution characteristics of the local body sweating rate has an instructive role in the design of the clothing and the skin design of the thermal manikin.
