Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's damn hot, isn't it?
All I can think about is how damn hot it is lol
But this summer will be over before we know it, too, won't it?
Once Obon is over, it's already time to start thinking about the end of the year lol
A year goes by in the blink of an eye...
But since it’s going to be hot for a while, I decided to take some precautions, so I installed this on that!
We also replaced the shade cloth with silver fabric to increase heat reflectivity while maintaining a 60% shading rate.
A light-blocking rate of about 80% would be nice, though~
And then I set this up.
This is it!
Makita's Rechargeable Fan!
I installed two of them!
The best things about this are its portability and water resistance.
Actually, I'd prefer something bigger, but considering portability, maybe this size is best?
There's one that's a size larger, and that might be a good option, too.
However, with it being this hot, I’ve heard people say that even a lukewarm breeze just doesn’t cut it...
I'm thinking, "Maybe I'll try buying a fan that's one size up."
Every year I try out various things, and the ones that work best are...
As expected"Shadows and the Wind" is a sure thingI think so.
Work clothes with fans areThe temperature is higher than my body temperature.So the heat is really getting to me lol
On the website above,
Effective Range of the Air-Conditioned Suit®
There is a part that says...
Let's take a look at that table and think about our work environment ^^
Since the average humidity in Japan during the summer is 75 degrees, I looked at the lower limit as much as possible.
It's the blue box on the side.
Temperature refers to the actual air temperature at which we work.
The area inside the red box above represents the effective range of the workwear with a fan.
In reality, the conditions are even harsher, so
Most are outside the valid rangeAnd that's how it turned out...
(Zone E and Zone D)
I bought it because everyone said it was great, but the actual results were a bit underwhelming.
The fact that it isn't effective unless you create shadows, etc., means that,
In our case, to fully realize the benefits of workwear with built-in fans, we need shade at the worksite.
Manufacturers say all sorts of good things to get you to buy their products, but there’s no one to verify them.
I’m thinking I might try verifying this using thermography at some point, but is it really worth going that far? lol
I do feel that way, too.
But since it's grown into such a huge market, I don't think anyone would doubt it anymore, would they?
| Bandwagon Effect
The phenomenon of choosing one option from among many is, This refers to the effect of further increasing the number of people who choose that option. To put it simply, “When everyone else has something, you want it too.” It’s a mindset along the lines of, “Since everyone else is doing it the same way, I’ll feel safe if I do it that way too.” |
When people say, “Work clothes with fans don’t work!”—well, for us slope workers, at least, that’s probably half true, isn’t it?
I think spring and fall are nice, though lol
During the really hot parts of the day, I’d wear light-colored work clothes instead of the fan-equipped ones, and then switch to the fan-equipped ones in the morning and evening, I guess~
It's a pain, lol
I'll let you know if I manage to upgrade the fan again lol
See you later.
