Claim Text:
1. A seat climate control system, comprising: a seat body defining an inlet opening, at least one outlet opening, and at least one fluid conduit establishing fluid communication between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening, the seat body including a first body surface and a second body surface opposite and spaced apart from the first body surface, wherein the seat body defines an interior volume; at least one thermoelectric module at least partially disposed within the interior volume, the at least one thermoelectric module being configured to facilitate heat transfer upon receipt of electrical energy; at least one thermally conductive member disposed along the first body surface, the at least one thermally conductive member being thermally coupled to the at least one thermoelectric module; at least one fan disposed in the at least one fluid conduit, the at least one fan being configured to direct flow of gas from the inlet opening to the at least one outlet opening; and wherein the at least one thermally conductive member is configured to transfer heat between the at least one thermoelectric module and a surface in direct contact with the at least one thermally conductive member.
