  • Abstract
    The main goal of this project was to develop a thermoregulatory machine that allows to determine the comfort levels of medical clothing under technical standards used in the production of these products in the market. The thermoregulatory machine was built according to the guidelines of the ISO 11092:1993 and ASTM F1868 - 14. The machine executes a control algorithm that reaches programed values related to humidity, temperature, power and flow velocity to simulate the conditions and effects of the skin. This device has a touchscreen where the results of the process are displayed and then determine the variations in the process and ensure the convergence of the values present.
