Thermal comfort is of critical importance to people during hot weather or harsh working conditions to reduce heat stress. Therefore, personal cooling garments (PCGs) is a promising technology that provides a sustainable solution to provide direct thermal regulation on the human body, while at the same time, effectively reduces energy consumption on whole-building cooling. This paper summarizes the current status of PCGs, and depending on the requirement of electric power supply, we divide the PCGs into two categories with systematic instruction on the cooling materials, working principles, and state-of-the-art research progress. Additionally, the application fields of different cooling strategies are presented. Current problems hindering the improvement of PCGs, and further development recommendations are highlighted, in the hope of fostering and widening the prospect of PCGs.
在炎热天气或恶劣工作条件下，热舒适性对于人们减轻热应激至关重要。因此，个人冷却服装（PCG）是一项很有前景的技术，它提供了一种可持续的解决方案，可对人体进行直接热调节，同时有效降低整栋建筑制冷的能源消耗。本文总结了个人冷却服装的现状，并根据供电要求，将个人冷却服装分为两类，对冷却材料、工作原理和最新研究进展进行了系统介绍。此外，还介绍了不同冷却策略的应用领域。强调了阻碍个人冷却服装改进的当前问题以及进一步的发展建议，以期促进和拓宽个人冷却服装的前景。
