Claim 2:
3. The device of claim 1, further comprising:
one or more components each comprising:
the one of the heat transfer laminates comprising a first heat transfer laminate having opposite surfaces comprising a first surface opposite a second surface; and
the first flexible electrocaloric element having one of the fixed portions attached to a first portion of the first heat transfer laminate and the second flexible electrocaloric element having one of the fixed portions attached to a second portion of the first heat transfer laminate; and

wherein:
the first flexible electrocaloric element is controlled to form thermal contact with the first surface and the second flexible electrocaloric element is controlled to form thermal contact with the second surface so that various amounts of heat may be transported from the first flexible electrocaloric element to the second flexible electrocaloric element through the first heat transfer laminate.
