Canada

Taken from acquisition worksheet: Developed by a Canadian company; as Canadian mines become deeper and therefore hotter, miners require specialized technologies to allow them to work in high temperatures.

Function

Portable micro climate cooling system to keep miners cool in high temperature underground.

Technical

Taken from acquisition worksheet: From the Company’s web site: ACTIVE MICROCLIMATE COOLING SYSTEM: This system is designed to reduce the human body temperature so that a person wearing additional personal protective equipment may more safely withstand adverse heat conditions. This system may also be used simply to increase the comfort of a person in hot environments. Evacuate the sweat: Overall, this personal cooling system influences the rate of evaporation of water vapour from the skin of the body of its user, thereby accelerating the phase change of sweat liquid to vapour. The suction created in the space between the panels and the user also draws more humidity and heat away from the body. This results in the cooling of the user being more efficient. Keep Cool: The personal cooling system can be used by many different persons and in many different situations. Examples of people that can benefit from using this system include firemen, law enforcement personnel, military personnel, construction workers, petroleum industry workers, smelting plant workers or boiler operators. FEATURES: Airflow expelling the perspiration away from the body. The system comprises two panels designed to be worn under protective clothing or any other kind of clothing. The panels are configured to be worn on the chest and the back of the user, and can be worn in direct contact with the skin or over a light undergarment. Enhancement of the body's natural Thermoregulation. These panels are connected together using a simple strap and fastening configuration. The coverage area for the cooling panels is optimized for the chest and back regions and they can be made in various sizes and shapes to fit a wide range of people. 8 hours duration Dry-Cell Battery Pack. The system includes an ergonomic dry cell battery (an even weight distribution battery belt) with 8 hours of autonomy.
