Heat transfer processes during a dry sauna (room temperature 70℃, relative humidity 10%) and mist sauna (room temperature 40℃, relative humidity 100%) were examined using a human thermal system. The results suggest the following: (1) During the dry sauna, the primary heat input to the body is convective and radiant heat gain, and the primary heat output from the body is evaporative loss. (2) During the mist sauna, the primary heat input to the body is condensate heat transfer, and there is no heat output from the body, which enables core temperature to increase like that during the dry sauna. (3) Skin moisture increase after mist bathing may be attained by heating and moisturing skin through condensation.
