Abstract

The human body can be kept cool by three means of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction. While convection and radiation can be facilitated by conventional passive and/or active means, cooling by conduction would necessitate the use of personal cooling solutions such as cooled seats, vests, mats and the like – which work by facilitating contact with one’s body. Apart from providing pers onal comfort, personal cooling solutions such as cooled seats can contribute to energy savings by avoiding expensive conventional air-conditioning which uses a very inefficient heat transfer medium – air. This paper addresses criteria for cooling seats, ideal / desired temperatures for the same, issues regarding the maintenance and upkeep of these seats as well as safety and security concerns along with a range of other considerations. Finally, the case is made for considering extension of these applications to indoor uses and examining the potential energy and cost benefits of such applications over conventional air-conditioning.
