A single thermometer wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index meter

Experimental study on the globe thermometer behaviour in conditions of asymmetry of the radiant temperature

“…On one side, the target has been to build a tool able to simulate the human body reactions to environmental conditions, so as to obtain a complete thermal environment meter. In this direction the papers by Bedford e Warner [3], Botsford, [4] and later Kuehn et al [5], who proposed devices sensitive to air humidity as well; Madsen [6], who proposed a tool that could simulate the human body answer to sensible heat exchanges, based on a human thermo-regulation model grounded on the Fanger theories; and eventually Mendes e Da Silva [7], who more recently proposed a device that could simulate the human body reactions to both sensible and latent heat exchanges.…”
