ST Engineering has invented a wearable aircon aimed at reducing the “heat stress” for people who are working outdoors under the sun.
They named it the “ARC”, which is a wearable aircon that is run on a battery and comes with cooling plates and turbocharged blowers.
Product description
The Wearable Air-Con that Keeps You GoingIn light of rising temperatures worldwide as a result of global warming, it is becoming increasingly harder to stay cool in warm and humid environments. Current passive cooling measures such as taking more breaks, standing fans and air conditioners are simply either not sufficient or not sustainable in the long run.
A study shows that workers are around 60 minutes less productive per day when environment temperatures hit 35°C. With this in mind, ARC was designed to reimagine and redefine cooling. Our team of engineers used our Patented Thermal-Flo™ technology to bring you high performance cooling outdoors and combined turbo-charged front blowers to provide you a truly immersive cooling experience. With moldable shoulder straps, ARC fits nicely over your shoulders while allowing you to stay cool without any hindrance as you go about your daily activities.
ARC keeps you cool, so you can keep going.
Instant cooling in seconds
The ARC is claimed to be able to provide instant cooling relief in seconds through their “Thermo-Flo” technology, and the high-velocity airflow accelerates the body’s natural ability to cool down, improving the microclimate around the face and neck.
It also claimed to allow users to have uninterrupted access to cooling through its batteries’ small form factor that allows new batteries to be swapped.
