System for thermoelectric personal comfort controlled bedding

摘要

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.

主权项

1. An air conditioning control system for use in a personal comfort system, the air conditioning control system comprising:
a thermoelectric engine including a thermoelectric core, a first heat exchanger in contact with a first side of the thermoelectric core, a condensate management system, a second heat exchanger in contact with a second side of the thermoelectric core, an air moving device configured to generate a flow of conditioned air across the first heat exchanger and the condensate management system; and wherein the condensate management system comprises:
a collection tray for collecting condensate from at least one of the thermoelectric engine, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger, the collection tray being disposed below the thermoelectric engine, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger, andan exhaust fan configured to generate an air flow across the second heat exchanger and across at least a portion of the collection tray, such that the air flow removes condensate from the collection tray.
