Abstract
The heat exchange processes of both air- and water-based personal cooling systems (PCSs) such as air-ventilation and water-perfusion clothing in thermal protective clothing systems are examined. Some critical design parameters used when designing PCSs are outlined. In addition, the three most common methods of evaluation of the performance of PCSs are presented and future trends of PCSs are discussed.
