Abstract:
A temperature controlled ventilation system for a vehicle seating assembly which includes a thermoelectric module. A thermoelectric device is disposed within a housing which includes a first chamber, a second chamber, an inlet port, a first outlet port disposed in the first chamber, and a second outlet port disposed in the second chamber. An inlet tube is coupled to the inlet port. An air mover is used for moving air through the inlet tube, into the inlet port and into the first and second chambers. The thermoelectric device is selectively and alternatively operable to cool air in the first chamber and to heat air in the second chamber or to heat air in the first chamber and to cool air in the second chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A temperature controlled ventilation system for a vehicle seating assembly, comprising:\n a thermoelectric module comprising:\n a thermoelectric device disposed within a housing comprising a first chamber, a second chamber, an inlet port, a first outlet port disposed in the first chamber, and a second outlet port disposed in the second chamber; \n an inlet tube coupled to the inlet port; and an air mover for moving air through the inlet tube, into the inlet port and into the first and second chambers, wherein the thermoelectric device is selectively and alternatively operable to cool air in the first chamber and to heat air in the second chamber or to heat air in the first chamber and to cool air in the second chamber, wherein the housing further comprises a first shell and a second shell; and further comprising: an elastomeric gasket disposed between the first shell and the second shell, wherein the thermoelectric device is disposed in an aperture in the elastomeric gasket, wherein the first chamber is located between a wall defined by the elastomeric gasket and the thermoelectric device and the first shell, and wherein the second chamber is located between the wall defined by the elastomeric gasket and the thermoelectric device and the second shell; and further comprising: a first heat sink disposed on a first surface of the thermoelectric device; a second heat sink disposed on a second surface of the thermoelectric device; and a first outlet tube comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to the first outlet port and the second end is disposed proximate a seating surface.
