Device for Reducing Thermal Loads and Regulating the Microclimate in a Protective Helmet and Protective Helmet Equipped with the Device

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention is a device designed to reduce thermal stress and regulate the microclimate inside a protective helmet. It does this by integrating at least one capsule containing phase change material (PCM) into the helmet shell, or by supplying a cooling gas through a pressure line to enable expansion cooling within the helmet.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Protective helmets for firefighters working in high-temperature environments
• Industrial safety helmets used in hot workplaces or foundries
• Sports helmets for athletes in extreme heat conditions
• Military helmets to prevent heat stress in soldiers
• Construction helmets for workers outdoors or in hot climates

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Improves user comfort by maintaining a cooler temperature inside the helmet
• Reduces risk of heat-related injuries or thermal stress for the helmet wearer
• Enables longer and safer use of protective helmets in hot environments
• Flexible technology—can be applied through PCM capsules or active cooling gas systems
• Potentially increases productivity and safety for workers or users needing head protection in heat
