Resumo(s)

Improving the performances of a firefighter cloth-ing require a good understanding of the thermal exchanges between the clothing and the ambient surrounding as well as the firefighter’s body. Indeed, early modelling and experi-mental investigations have revealed the importance of the skin biothermics that should account for sudation and organ-ism thermoregulation [1]. On the other hand, recent fire-fighter clothing technologies have evidenced the multi-layered configuration of the textile, which have to be sepa-rated by several air-gaps to enhance the thermal resistance [2]. A concise analysis on the characterization of multilayer fabrics has highlighted the contribution of convective, radi-ative and conductive thermal exchanges within the clothing-body assembly [3].
