... A series of six focus groups in five U.S. cities was conducted as a component in a 3-year project to develop a prototype personal cooling system for first responders. The target user was a HAZMAT worker wearing level A and B ensembles, with a 30-min mission and an average body heat dissipation...

... High temperature, short term immersion testing was used to determine the impact of propylene and ethylene glycol base coolants on the physical properties of a variety of elastomeric and thermoplastic materials found in automotive cooling systems. The materials tested are typically used...

... A modification of the ASTM Vibratory Cavitation Erosion Test (G 32-77) is proposed for the evaluation of a cooling system corrosion inhibitor's ability to reduce the deterioration of the water-side of diesel engine cylinder liners. The procedure combines the effects of cavitation and corrosion...
