An air conditioning system for a seat, comprising an arm rest () of the seat, the arm rest having a top side, an inner wall, an outer wall, a front end, and a back end defining a hollow interior between them, means for providing air conditioned to a desired temperature, from an air source to the hollow interior of the arm rest, and a plurality of nozzles formed through the inner wall, defined between a nozzle inlet on an inner surface of the inner wall facing into the hollow interior and a nozzle outlet on an outer surface of the inner wall facing towards a seating area of a person when sitting in the seat, the nozzles providing a path through which air flows from the hollow interior, into the nozzle inlet and out of the nozzle outlet.

Air conditioning system

A manifold for a heat exchanger includes a manifold body configured to house heat exchanger components including a blower for circulating air and means for performing heat exchange between the air and a heat exchange fluid. The manifold also includes an opening (A) via which air enters the blower, an inlet for receiving air from the heat exchanger and an outlet for outputting air from the manifold. The manifold also includes a flow channel extending between the inlet and the outlet. The channel defines a helical flow path from the inlet to the outlet.

Heat exchanger manifold

A heat pump assembly includes a plurality of Peltier devices mounted to receive air from a common air inlet, means for causing a current to flow through the Peltier devices, a plurality of first heat sinks arranged in thermal contact with a first, hot, side of the Peltier devices, and a plurality of second heat sinks arranged in thermal contact with a second, cold, side of the Peltier devices. Each of the first heat sinks defines a respective first channel through which inlet air warmed by the hot side of the Peltier devices flows, and each of the second heat sinks defines a respective second channel through which inlet air cooled by the cold side of the Peltier devices flows.

Heat pump assembly

A ventilated adjustable headrest may include an adjustable metal insert, a nozzle fixedly attached to the adjustable metal insert. The nozzle may be in fluid communication with a perforated covering and one or more cushion elements. The nozzle may be telescopically coupled to one or more ventilation ducts. The one or more ventilation ducts may be configured to receive forced air from a ventilation system at an air inlet, and may be configured to deliver the forced air to the nozzle.
