“現場の人をガチで守りたい”　熱中症対策も進化「人間冷蔵庫」

As the weather gets hotter, heatstroke prevention becomes essential. With extreme heat now commonplace, what has been created to combat the heat…? We asked the sales representative… TRUSCO Nakayama, Chisa Torii: "In a word, it's a human refrigerator." The "Dohiemon BOX" is a human refrigerator specifically designed to combat the heat. It's designed to cool the body down rapidly when a person enters it. The inspiration for its development came from the frozen food vending machines seen all over town. TRUSCO Nakayama, Chisa Torii: "It was created with the genuine desire to protect those working on-site." It was developed for use in construction sites, factories, and even outdoor event venues where the heat is unavoidable. A staff member immediately tried it out… Reporter: "It's refreshingly cool. Cool air is coming out from the neck and back." With a minimum temperature of 5°C coming out from the neck and other areas, the temperature inside the "Do-Hiemon BOX" is approximately 15°C. TRUSCO Nakayama's Chisa Torii: "While spot air conditioners are popular as conventional heatstroke prevention products, they gently cool the area or space where the air blows. The Do-Hiemon BOX cools the inside of the box to a very low temperature, providing instant cooling within 5 minutes of entering. It primarily lowers the perceived temperature in the upper body." The "Do-Hiemon BOX," which operates on about half the power consumption of a spot air conditioner, automatically shuts off after 20 minutes to prevent overcooling. On this day, people from a recycling plant came to see it. The factory is apparently an extremely hot environment. A person from a recycling plant: (What did you think when you went inside?) "It's cool, almost cold. We have a lot of elderly people working at our factory, so we need to be mindful of their health by keeping it cool. With temperatures rising every year, we need to consider heatstroke prevention." They said they would like to consider introducing it. You might encounter the "Dohiemon BOX" human refrigerator somewhere in the future. ■CTV NEWS Official Website https://news.ntv.co.jp/n/ctv ■Twitter   / chukyotv_news   ■TikTok   / ctv_news   ■LINE NEWS https://line.me/R/ti/p/%40oa-ctvnews ■For questions, concerns, or investigation requests, contact "Your Center Reporting Team"! https://www.ctv.co.jp/interview/ ■For photo and video submissions, use "Catch!
