A personal comfort system, for use with a bedding assembly having a mattress, includes an air conditioning system configured to condition air within an air flow and a delivery system to receive and provide the conditioned air to a mattress. The air conditioning system includes a housing coupled with a fan and a thermal transfer device having a thermoelectric engine operable for conditioning air within the air flow.

System and method for thermoelectric personal comfort controlled bedding

A distribution system is adapted for use with a mattress and a personal comfort system with an air conditioning system operable for outputting a conditioned air flow. The distribution system includes at least top and bottom layers of fabric material and a spacer structure disposed between the bottom and top layers. The spacer structure defines an internal volume within the distribution layer and is configured to enable the received conditioned air flow to flow therethrough. This flow of conditioned air has a cooling or heating effect on a body on the mattress.

In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a thermoelectric-based air conditioning system. The system includes at least a first supply air channel and a separate second supply air channel disposed in a housing. The system also includes a first thermoelectric cooler (TEC) assembly forming at least a portion of the first supply air channel and configured to independently condition air within the first supply air channel. The system further includes a second TEC assembly forming at least a portion of the second supply air channel and configured to independently condition air within the second supply air channel. The system includes a single heat exchanger configured to transfer heat with both the first TEC assembly and the second TEC assembly.

Dual core personal comfort engine (PCE)

A thermal module including a thermoelectric engine having a thermoelectric core, a first heat exchanger on one side of the thermoelectric engine, a second heat exchanger on another side of the thermoelectric engine, an air moving device blowing air across the first heat exchanger to condition the air, and a condensate management system including a collection tray below the thermoelectric engine, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger. The thermal module also includes an exhaust fan blowing air across the second heat exchanger and the collection tray to remove condensate from the collection tray.
