Provided is a man-clothing-environment (MCE) simulator quantitatively
measuring properties of clothes to transfer heat and moisture between
human skin and an external environment. The MCE simulator includes a hot
chamber providing a high-temperature environment, a cold chamber
providing a low-temperature environment, a skin model selectively coupled
to the hot chamber or the cold chamber while being vertically erect, a
water supplier supplying water to a hot plate included in the skin model,
and a controller controlling the hot chamber, the cold chamber and the
skin model, and processing data on temperature and humidity measured by
sensors. The skin model includes the hot plate receiving heat and water
while being vertically erect and simulating human skin, a ring-shaped
frame coupled to a side of the hot plate and supporting a fabric to be
separated from the side of the hot plate, and the sensors measuring
temperature and humidity inside and outside the fabric. The MCE simulator
may properly simulate a state of wearing clothes by employing the
vertical skin model and effectively measure properties of clothes to
transfer heat and moisture according to rapid changes in an external
environment by including the hot and cold chambers.
