Abstract:
1. A climate control system for a seat assembly, comprising: a user input device configured to receive at least one desired setting or mode for the seat assembly; a first thermal module configured to selectively provide thermally conditioned air to a first portion of a climate controlled seat assembly; a first sensor configured to sense at least a first condition related to the first thermal module and to provide a first condition signal corresponding to the at least first condition; a first control unit that is operatively connected to the first thermal module, the first sensor and the user input device, said first control unit being configured to regulate at least one operational parameter of the first thermal module based on, at least in part, the first condition signal and the at least one desired setting or mode; a second thermal module configured to selectively provide thermally conditioned air to a second portion of a climate controlled seat assembly; a second control unit that is operatively connected to the second thermal module, said second control unit being configured to regulate at least one operational parameter of the second thermal module; and a communication line configured to operatively connect the first control unit and the second control unit; wherein the first control unit is configured to modify at least one operational parameter of the second thermal module via the second control unit.
