Adiabatic whole body calorimeter

Third Example Adiabatic Whole-Body Calorimeter... [Pg.211]

Snellen, Chang, and Smith (1983) described a special adiabatic whole-body calorimeter for humans. The calorimeter consists of three metal cylinders inside one another. The iimermost cylinder (157 cm high, 152 cm in diameter) serves as a radiation shield. The other two cylinders (183 and 193 cm high, 168 and 193 cm in diameter) form the adiabatic shield against the environment. The calorimeter works as follows. A continuous air flow (26m min ) with exactly controlled temperature and humidity is injected into the calorimeter, and half of the flow rate between the first and the second cylinder and via the proper inlet slots goes into the...
