A self-contained air conditioning seat unit provides a controlled temperature climate in an air bubble generated around the seat occupant. Air, heated or cooled in the heating and cooling unit 10, is distributed via the arm rests 9 and back support 26 to the main air bubble at a controlled temperature for the upper body and seat of the occupant, and distributed beneath the seat to a separate air bubble for the legs of the occupant. A controller activates the heating and cooling unit and air distribution systems, and is responsive to air temperatures detected by temperature sensors in the tips of the arms, headrest, beneath the seat bottom and in the return air ducts, and personal selection of temperature requirements by the occupant, to maintain selected air bubble temperatures in the two zones. |
