Abstract

The present invention comprises a flexible heat exchange assembly for heating and thermal control the surface of a seat that is designed to prevent the blockage of fluid flow due to the pressure of anoccupant's weight, which generally consists of formed layers that create passages through which a heat exchange fluid flows. The upper surface seat cushioning material is formed such that there are recesses into which these fluid passages rest, thereby preventing the blockage of fluid flow when the pressure from the weight of an occupant deforms the cushion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for maintaining a climate controlled environment for occupants in connection with heating and thermal control of seating surfaces. These surfaces are, for example, vehicle surfaces, and these surfaces help maintain the climate in the vehicle. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flexible layer that is positioned beneath a seating surface and that enables a heat transfer fluid to flow therethrough, thereby thermally controlling or heating an occupant. Background technique [0002] Thermal control of seating surfaces is beneficial for energy efficiency and occupant comfort and has been applied in a variety of commercially successful products in the past. These include seats used in automotive, office and medical applications. Comfort benefits include faster heating and cooling times, more uniform overall body temperature of the occupant, and reduced perspiration that typically occ...
