Abstract

Abstract: The semiconductor refrigeration technology was used to design a set of air-conditioning garment. It was movable by using a lithium battery so that people could wear it outside. The air-conditioning garment could afford 100-120W cooling power by using two pieces of semiconductors. The experiments were carried out at ambient temperature of 31°C and 36°C. There were two different heat-dissipating methods to remove the heat from the body at the hot-end of the air-conditioning garment. The feasibility of fan cooling for the hot-end of the semiconductor air-conditioning garment was proposed. There were also two different methods to transfer the cold from the air-conditioning garment to the human torso at the cold end. The cold-end was recommended to use the cold water to absorb the body heat through the capillary according to the experiment data because the cooling loss was so large if using air to absorb the body heat.
