Newton and the other thermal manikin systems we manufacture are key pieces of test equipment for companies trying to understand the complex and ever-changing thermal environments found in airplane, automotive, bus, and train cabins. When combining Newton’s measurement capabilities with ThermoAnalytics’ Human Thermal Comfort Software, the manikin acts as a multi-zone sensor that measures the rate of heat loss at each skin surface segment – responding to and interacting with the thermal environment to provide real data to the human model, thus eliminating guesswork and improving the accuracy of thermal comfort research efforts.

This combination of manikin + model allows users to accurately compute the thermal sensation that is being experienced and generate an intuitive prediction of human thermal comfort. Trust me, this is big news. Come visit us at the show and see for yourself.
