Eight subjects participated in a subjective experiment of eight conditions to investigate the effects of heated seats in vehicles on skin temperature, thermal sensation and thermal comfort during the initial warm-up period. The experimental conditions were designed as a combination of air temperature in the test room (5, 10, 15, or 20 °C) and heated seat (on/off). The heated seat was effective for improving thermal comfort during the initial warm-up period when air temperature was lower than 15 °C. Use of heated seats prevented decreases in or increased toe skin temperature. Heated seats also increased foot thermal sensation at 15 and 20 °C. Optimal thermal sensation in contact with the seat was higher when air temperature was lower. Optimal skin temperature in contact with the seat back was higher than that with the seat cushion. Moreover, these optimal skin temperatures were higher when air temperature was lower.
八名受试者参与了一项关于车辆加热座椅对初始预热阶段皮肤温度、热感觉和热舒适影响的八项条件的主观实验。实验条件设计为测试室空气温度（5、10、15 或 20°C）和加热座椅（开/关）的组合。当空气温度低于 15°C 时，加热座椅对改善初始预热期间的热舒适非常有效。使用加热座椅可以防止脚趾皮肤温度下降或升高。在 15 和 20°C 时，加热座椅还增加了脚部的热感觉。当空气温度较低时，与座椅接触时的最佳热感觉更高。与座椅靠背接触的最佳皮肤温度高于与座椅垫接触的最佳皮肤温度。此外，当空气温度较低时，这些最佳皮肤温度更高。
