Abstract

Propose an experimental method for measuring evaporation characteristic parameters of COOLMAX
material. Measure the loss weight of the fabric after wetted and time parameters, calculate the evaporation rate of COOLMAX material. The experimental results show that there is no significant difference in evaporation rate and evaporation time between Jersey stitch surface and eyelet surface of COOLMAX fabric. The evaporation rate of fabric samples placed vertically is higher than that of fabric samples placed horizontally, which determine their application potential in evaporation cooling technology.
