INDICE DE TENSION TERMICA EFECTIVA USANDO UN COMPUTADOR DE BOLSILLO
Abstract
From: KAMON, E. and RYAN, C. Effective heat st rain index using pocket computer, American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal 42(8): 611-615, Aug. 1981
An effective heat stress index (EHSI) using a calculator with memory is suggested for the evaluation of conditions where a hot environment prevails.
Inputs to the programmed calculator include dry bulb, wet bulb and globe temperature and values for air movement and metabolism. The index is based on a program for calculating total heat balance and sweating efficiency. The resulting information on ambient conditions includes: total heat load; evaporative capacity of the environment; skin humidity and applicable heat stress. The EHSI output shows the following: No Voltage; Low Voltage; High Voltage or Exposure Time Limits.
