Profile of the laboratory's activities:

 
The Laboratory of Thermal Loads of CIOP-PIB has modern and unique research equipment on a national scale, which allows for comprehensive research in the field of the impact of microclimate on people in the working environment.

The Laboratory conducts research and development, scientific and practical works in the field of microclimate testing at workplaces and the assessment of protective and workwear in the context of working comfort in this clothing, its required thermal insulation, acceptable exposure and restitution time. The research takes into account the relevant channels of heat production and loss, as well as all factors affecting heat exchange between man and the environment, i.e. climate, clothing and energy expenditure. The relationships between these parameters are included in the heat balance equation, which is the theoretical basis for practical solutions.

Oferujemy następujące rodzaje usług:
 
  1. Accredited tests:
    • testing the thermal insulation of protective clothing using a thermal manikin (PN-EN ISO 9920:2009; PN-EN ISO 15831:2006; PN-EN 342:2018-01 point 4.2, 6.3);
    • testing of sleeping bags for sport and recreation (PN-EN 13537:2012);
    • determination of PMV and PPD index and determination of thermal comfort conditions in moderate microclimate (PN-EN ISO 7730:2006);
    • determination of WBGT/WBGTeff index at workplaces in hot microclimates (PN-EN 7243);
  2. Non-accredited tests:

    • assessment of the heat load of workers exposed to cold environment based on IREQ index;
    • acclimatization of people in the climatic chamber by simulating constant or variable climatic conditions in the following ranges:
      • temperature: from -40°C to +70°C,
      • humidity: from 20% to 90% r.h.,
      • air speed: from 0.1 m/s to 3 m/s;
    • testing the resistance to climatic conditions of various types of electronic devices by simulating the conditions in a climatic chamber.

We invite entrepreneurs and research institutes to cooperate in the field of:
  • design and modeling of sports and leisure clothing, clothing for special applications (military clothing, for hang gliders, performance clothing);
  • testing the impact of temperature and humidity on technical devices and construction materials;
  • tests of thermal environments inside vehicles (cars, railway cars, airplanes, etc.);
  • implementation of projects under international scientific and research cooperation.

We invite you to the profile of the Laboratory of Thermal Loads
