Thermal Manikin System
Unique design with high accuracy, easy operations and low cost of ownership
Accurately assessing thermal comfort and heat exchange is crucial in designing environments and products that interact with the human body. The PT Teknik Thermal Manikin System offers a sophisticated solution for simulating human thermal responses, providing reliable data for research and development across various industries. Kanomax USA has partnered with PT Teknik to bring their industry-leading Thermal Manikin System to the United States.
Advanced Thermal Simulation Technology
At the core of the PT Teknik Thermal Manikin System is state-of-the-art thermal wiring technology, enabling precise simulation of human heat production and loss. The manikin is divided into multiple independently controlled zones, allowing for detailed analysis of heat transfer and insulation properties. This level of control ensures that researchers can replicate and study complex thermal interactions in a controlled, repeatable manner.
Versatile Configurations for Diverse Applications
Designed with flexibility in mind, the manikin can be positioned in various postures—standing, sitting, or lying down—to suit different testing scenarios. Its modular construction allows for easy disassembly at the waist, facilitating transport and setup. Whether evaluating HVAC systems, vehicle cabin climates, or clothing insulation, the PT Teknik Thermal Manikin adapts to meet specific research needs.
Seamless Integration with Physiological Models
To enhance the realism of simulations, the manikin system can be coupled with the JOS-3 thermophysiological model. This integration enables the simulation of human thermal responses under varying environmental conditions, providing deeper insights into comfort levels and physiological impacts.
Broad Industry Applications
The PT Teknik Thermal Manikin System serves as a vital tool in multiple sectors:
- Built Environment & HVAC: Optimize heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
- Automotive & Transportation: Assess and improve thermal conditions within vehicle cabins.
- Clothing & Wearables: Evaluate the thermal insulation and comfort of garments under various environmental conditions.
- Military & Protective Gear: Test and develop clothing designed for extreme temperatures and challenging environments.
Commitment to Quality and Support
With over three decades of experience, PT Teknik is dedicated to delivering high-quality, reliable thermal manikin systems. Each system is handcrafted to ensure precision and durability, backed by comprehensive customer support to assist with setup, operation, and data analysis.
