Thermal comfort characteristics of a catalytic combustion heater under wind-chilled exposure

Heating in wind-chilled environments is a serious task. The catalytic combustion heater (CCH) provides more efficient and cleaner in combustion compared to conventional heaters with high pollutant emission and low energy utilization. In this paper, the heating ability of CCH on human body in a wind-...
