Benefits of technology

"The invention is a heat pipe system that can be used in apparel to manage thermal stress and improve comfort. The system is designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and practical for everyday use. The heat pipes are integrated into the apparel and can be customized to different scenarios. The system uses natural ability of the body to manage heat distribution and has efficient heat exchange properties. The invention can be manufactured using various processes and can be used in various industries such as electronics, automotive, and construction materials. The technical effects of the invention include improved thermal management, reduced weight and discomfort, and effective integration into apparel and other systems."

Problems solved by technology

All these ideas provide short term benefits with expense of reduced mobility and added weight.
Prior art inventors (U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,369) suggest redistribution of heat between distinct pieces of apparel that creates discomfort in dressing as well as causes faults in practical use of such apparel systems.

Embodiment Construction

[0002]The essence of this invention is to provide completely passive lightweight solution that will be able to reduce thermal stress of wearier and have unlimited operating time. Benefit of this invention is effective combination of natural ability of a body to redistribute / manage heat and efficient heat exchange properties of the apparel system combined with its primary functions.

[0003]Each apparel article according to this invention is uniquely designed for a specific use scenario. This makes them comfortable, practical, lightweight, and reliable unlike prior art designs. Heat pipes are employed to increase heat exchange between the body surface and a heat source / recipient (in most scenarios ambient air).

[0004]Heat pipe uses a thin shell impermeable or partially impermeable to gases. Material of choice for the shell is:[0005]laminated single or multilayer metal foil (aluminum or other)[0006]inorganic film (silicate based or other)[0007]polymer or rubber (natural or synthetic with ...

Abstract

This invention enables broad commercial use of heat pipe technology in designs ranging from traditional outdoor apparel to high-end sport garments and special tasks garments. Heat pipes of popular mesh or velvet patterns provides integrated heat sink functionality that decreases weight, size and cost of thermal designs. Products of the invention are lightweight, flexible and even elastic that provides maximum comfort to their users.

Description

PRIOR ART[0001]Idea of use of heat pipes in conjunction with human wearable apparel was exploited for sake of thermal stress management. Inventors suggested uses of various heat reservoirs to absorb the heat (U.S. Pat. No. 6,763,671). All these ideas provide short term benefits with expense of reduced mobility and added weight.Prior art inventors (U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,369) suggest redistribution of heat between distinct pieces of apparel that creates discomfort in dressing as well as causes faults in practical use of such apparel systems.DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0002]The essence of this invention is to provide completely passive lightweight solution that will be able to reduce thermal stress of wearier and have unlimited operating time. Benefit of this invention is effective combination of natural ability of a body to redistribute / manage heat and efficient heat exchange properties of the apparel system combined with its primary functions.[0003]Each apparel article according to this inve...
