Abstract
A vehicle seat temperature conditioner includes a Peltier element, a heat exchanger for performing a heat exchange between heat generated or absorbed by the Peltier element and air transferred from a blower, and a case housing the Peltier element and heat exchanger together so as to provide the temperature conditioner as an independent self-contained unit or module. The housing case is made of a resilient and flexible material and functions also as a connector for coupling with an air intake pipe to introduce air from a blower into the vehicle seat temperature conditioner and with an air discharge pipe to discharge temperature-conditioned air from the temperature conditioner to air holes formed in the vehicle seat.
