Abstract

An all weather intelligent global apparel, a system and a method thereof is provided to render a thermal comfort to a person, in varying of climatic conditions, and geographic time zones. The apparel comprises of an innermost layer 1; a first layer 2 positioned between the innermost layer 1 and an intermediate layer 4; an intermediate layer 4 embedded with at least one reversible heat pump module 12; a second layer 7 positioned between the intermediate layer 4 and an outermost layer 8; an outermost layer 8; at least one controller 13 positioned at an appropriate places for adjusting the temperature near body at a desired level; a heat recovery module 11; and at least one micro-dehumidifier device 10. The said apparel is configured to function in heating mode or cooling mode depending upon the requirement.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . An all weather intelligent global apparel to provide a thermal comfort to a person, in varying of climatic conditions, and geographic time zones comprising:
 an innermost layer which is positioned closest to a human body while wearing the apparel;   a first layer having high thermal conductivity positioned between the innermost layer and an intermediate layer, and to which at least one heat sink is connected;   an intermediate layer embedded with at least one reversible heat pump module;   a second layer, having high thermal conductivity, positioned between the intermediate layer and an outermost layer, and to which at least one heat source is connected;   an outermost layer;   at least one controller positioned at An appropriate places for adjusting the temperature near body at a desired level;   a heat recovery module . . . attached to an insulation layer to recover the heat and power the reversible heat pump; and   at least one micro-dehumidifier device attached to the outermost layer,   
       wherein the apparel is configured to function in heating mode or cooling mode depending upon the requirement. 
     
     
         2 . The apparel as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of sensors are placed in the intermediate layer and are located near dense blood veins of the human body. 
     
     
         3 . The apparel as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the innermost layer is prepared from a material having wicking properties and less thermal resistance than the outermost layer. 
     
     
         4 . The apparel as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the outermost layer is prepared from a material having hydrophilic properly and higher thermal resistance than the innermost layer. 
     
     
         5 . The apparel as claimed in any of the  claims 1 , wherein the heat sink is a thermoelectric device. 
     
     
         6 . The apparel as claimed in any of the  claims 1 , wherein the first layer and the second layer are weaved inside the apparel 
     
     
         7 . The apparel as claimed in any of the  claims 1 - 6 , wherein the apparel is selected from jackets, shirts, vests, gloves, socks, cap, hooded tops, pants, full body suits and such. 
     
     
         8 . A system to provide a thermal comfort to a person, in varying of climatic conditions, and geographic time zones comprising:
 an all weather global apparel to be wore by the person;   an intelligent remote server communicatively coupled to the apparel, and   a smart device communicatively coupled to the remote server sharing the geographic location of the person/user;   
       wherein the apparel is configured to function in a cooling mode or a heating mode depending upon the communication received from the remote server. 
     
     
         9 . The system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the apparel comprises
 an innermost layer which is positioned closest to a human body while wearing the apparel;   a first layer having high thermal conductivity positioned between the innermost layer and an intermediate layer, and to which at least one heat sink is connected;   an intermediate layer embedded with at least one reversible heat pump module;   a second layer, having high thermal conductivity, positioned between the intermediate layer and an outermost layer, and to which at least one heat source is connected;   an outermost layer;   at least one controller positioned at an appropriate places for adjusting the temperature near body at a desired level;   a heat recovery module attached to an insulation layer to recover the heat and power the reversible heat pump; and   at least one micro-dehumidifier device attached to the outermost layer,   
       wherein the apparel is configured to function in heating mode or cooling mode depending upon the requirement. 
     
     
         10 . The system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein a plurality of sensors are placed in the intermediate layer and are located near dense blood veins of the human body to transmit the temperature related data to the controller. 
     
     
         11 . The system as claimed in  claims 8  &  9 , wherein the controller is communicatively coupled to the remote server. 
     
     
         12 . The system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the remote server is a cloud server. 
     
     
         13 . A method to provide a thermal comfort to a person, in varying climatic conditions, and geographic time zones, by means of an all weather intelligent global apparel to be wore and system thereof, comprising:
 (a) Setting a temperature value at which the person/user is comfortable;   (b) Measuring the temperature surrounding the user by means of at least one temperature sensor provided within the apparel;   (c) Acquiring the geographic position of the person by means of smart device of the system;; and   (d) Comparing the set value and measured value, and determining whether to employ cooling mode or heating mode based on the comparison.   
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the cooling mode executes the steps of:
 (a) Absorbing the heat trapped between the body and an innermost layer by means of a first high thermal conductivity layer, both layers being provided within the apparel;   (b) Transferring the heat outside the apparel through a heat sink provided at the first layer, a heat source provided at an intermediate layer and a second high thermal conducting layer, the said layers being provided within the apparel.   
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the heating mode executes the steps of:
 (a) Harnessing the heat from outer environment by means of a reversible heat pump;   (b) Transferring the heat through the second high thermal conducting layer, the heat sink and to the space between body and innermost layer.
