This paper describes the construction of a body cooling system to avoid heatstroke for survivors of cervical spinal cord injury. For accomplishment of this purpose, we chose the neck as a cooling point of the body, and we constructed a prototype neck cooling head with a refrigerated circulator. The neck cooling head was made by thin heat-welding thermoplastic films with high thermal conductivity. To test our proposed system, we conducted experiments on two unimpaired participants in a room which simulated a hot summer day (33 [°C], relative humidity 40%). Reduction of sweating were observed, and the average skin temperatures and the core temperature of the head with cooling increased more slowly than those without cooling. The estimated cooling power of the proposed system was about 10 [W] with 50 [W] total power consumption of the cooling head.
