“The newly developed thermally conductive flame-resistant cooling vest, liquid cooling garment, is significantly — nearly 30 percent — more efficient in extracting body heat than the ...

Astronauts going on spacewalks not only have to share spacesuits, they have to share the "long-underwear-like Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment" that goes under the suit. The LCVG is critical ...

In preparation for an EVA, the crew member dons the liquid cooling and ventilation garment first, enters the airlock and dons the lower torso assembly. The crew member then squats under the hard upper ...

Gas ventilation draws moist air away from extremities, while flexible tubes that are sewn into the garment circulate cooling water around the body and help to remove excess heat and maintain a ...

Some key elements of the suit are: Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment [LCVG]: Spacewalking is often strenuous work, so regulating body temperature is important. The LCVG is a double-layered ...

That's why NASA acquired rights to use liquid cooling and ventilation garments in 1966. The skintight suits had 300 feet of tubing snaking along the outside and running chilled water across the ...
