Calorimetry with heat flux transducers: comparison with a suit calorimeter

R. P. Layton, W. H. Mints Jr, J. F. Annis, M. J. Rack and P. Webb

Regional and total body heat loss rates of human subjects at rest were measured simultaneously by means of an array of heat flux transducers and with a tube suit calorimeter. Conditions ranged from thermal comfort to strong cooling. A high degree of correlation was found between heat loss rates determined by the two independent techniques. For the head and arms, the transducer array system measured less heat loss than the suit. For the torso and legs, measurements by the two methods were equivalent. For the whole body, the transducer system yielded a heat loss rate 87% of the suit calorimeter value.
