Talk:Liquid cooling and ventilation garment

Article needs to add that the US heritage of the LCVG was originally developed for the Apollo program. Not sure when the Russian equivalent was developed but it was likely in the same time frame.--Craigboy (talk) 13:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Conversion mistake
The conversion between 62,112 Joules/hour and 2000 Btu/hour is wrong. 2000 Btu/hour would amount to about 2,110,000 Joules/hour.

The mistake is already in the source article.

Since 62000 Joules/hour are only 17 W and the average human body produces more than 70 W at rest (and much more during activity), I think the 2000 Btu/hour (586W) is more plausible.

Microclimate Cooling System
Seems to be the same concept, may one day be used by US ground forces according to the Future Force Warrior article.

Ice Sublimator
I've just added a few more details on the ice sublimator and how it works, and formatted it as a separate paragraph in Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment, with a couple of citations. I think it would also be interesting to have more details about it here in wikipedia - no moving parts and automatically self regulating, this is like a "stub" of what I think could be a separate article if anyone wanted to write it. Google scholar search and book search turns up a fair bit of material. Robert Walker (talk) 14:54, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Wrong page numbers in references?
The "APOLLO PORTABLE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REPORT" was published in Second Conf. on Portable Life Support Systems; p 49-67; (SEE 19720019456) according to https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=19720019460. The report itself is avalable as 19 page PDF. Pages 42 and 60 are given as references. Page 42 is not in in the report, as it would seem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.197.236.218 (talk) 21:09, 17 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Well spotted! The correct page for that citation is 54; I've fixed it. — swpb T 12:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
