Description
Summary:The paper considered the problem of protecting workers from the biological factor during the construction of highways in the Siberian Federal District. A promising approach to meeting these requirements is proposed - the use of ventilated clothing. The authors developed a prototype of a protective overall. It was shown that when calculating its design, it was necessary to take into account the heat transfer in the air gaps. The authors worked out a numerical model of these processes and carried out calculations for the conditions in the warm season on the territory of the Siberian Federal District. It was found that with an air gap thickness of 20 mm, the additional heat removal provided by the air gap allowed maintaining the thermal comfort of a person when performing work with a load equivalent to 4 - 6 MET.
