Description
Summary:Textiles are used as thermal isolating materials for technical and clothing applications. The paper generally deals with heat transfer through textile layers by conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation of humidity. This experiment evaluates heat transfer by conduction and radiation through textile layers containing hollow polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibres. The environment created by a composite textile layer containing hollow PET fibres and air is not identical for every method of heat transfer. During heat transfer through a textile layer, we evaluate of the importance of macromorphological structure of the elementary fibres and textile layer, taking into account the thermo-physiological properties.
