Patent ID: 8136874

Claim:
A portable climate control system for use with a seat, the system comprising: a first portion that is removably positionable over a first surface of the seat to thereby cover the first surface; a second portion that is removably positionable over a second surface of the seat to thereby cover the second surface, wherein each of the portions contains respective coils; and a fluid control module (FCM) in fluid communication with the coils of each of the first and second portions to thereby define a closed-loop fluid passage between the FCM and the first and second portions, wherein the FCM circulates a supply of refrigerant only within the closed-loop fluid passage and includes a plurality of valves which selectively deliver the refrigerant to the first and second portions at independently-controllable temperatures; wherein the first portion, the second portion, and the FCM are removably connected to the seat to allow portability of the system between different seats.
