Heat shield is a portable system for real-time WBGT, Operative Temperature, Heat index calculation. It can be held in hand or fixed on a tripod for short-term monitoring campaign. It can be used indoor or outdoor and can be connected to satellites for measurements in different points. Supplied with a software for data downloading, assessment and reporting. Predicted Heat Strain (PHS) index calculation adding TEA software suite.

Heat Shield meter calculates, stores and displays on-line WBGT indoor & outdoor indices plus Heat Index and Humidex indices. Furthermore, if ESV125 anemometer is connected, Heat Shield can calculate directly the PMV-PPD comfort index (ISO7730). Heat shield can be used for indoor applications (hot workingplaces, factories, industrial plants, etc.) or outdoor (construction sites, outdoor workplaces, etc.), it can be held in hand or fixed on a tripod for short-term monitoring periods (such as one day).

Thanks to its built-in radio technology, Heat Shield can support up to two satellite units to assess analysis at different levels or in different locations. Satellites can calculate WBGT in different places at the same time, for example different workplaces or different rooms.

It is possible to download the stored data using HS Manager PC program included with Heat Shield. From HS Manager it is also possible to export the data to GIDAS TEA program, used for further thermal environments analysis as Predicted Heat Strain (PHS), Insulation Required (IREQ), Duration Limit of the exposition (Dlim). GIDAS-TEA program will also allow in-depth analysis of WBGT, PMV and PPD indexes.
