OK, where in the world am I?
Tul,
One of the products/business groups where I work develops and manufactures body cooling apparatus...for industrial workers, military, etc. About 10 or so years ago, we developed and tested a system for cooling those fire suits you mentioned. As we were running our tests, a guy...I wish I remembered his name...came to witness and help with development; he was pretty much the world's leading expert in specialized heat/fire protection suits and systems. I recall getting into that suit and getting into a big heat treatment oven to test it...we didn't have breathing air available at the first runs, so I had a tube that led from my mouth and out the door so I could breath, and we had some prearranged signals in case I felt faint...first test failed since I got too hot and had to get out.
