Systems and methods for thermoelectrically cooling inductive charging stations

A cooling system for an induction charging module, the cooling system comprising:

• a pad configured to connect to an induction charging module on a first side, the pad comprising:
• a wall at least partially defining a cavity, the cavity configured to receive all of a longitudinal length of a portable electronic device;
• a first end of the cavity;
• a second end opposite the first end;
• and
• a protrusion extending from the wall on the first side for spacing the portable electronic device away from the wall and promoting fluid flow along the portable electronic device;
• and
• a thermal conditioning module comprising an air moving device and a duct fluidly connecting the air moving device and the pad,
• wherein the thermal conditioning module is configured to supply a flow of air into the pad between the first end and the second end for cooling the portable electronic device.

A method of cooling for an inductive charging module, the method comprising:

• directing an airflow through a thermal conditioning module comprising a duct;
• directing the airflow through the duct toward a first end of a pad;
• directing the airflow along a protrusion in the pad, the protrusion extending from a wall of the pad, the wall at least partially defining the pad, and the wall connected to an inductive charging module configured to charge a portable electronic device;
• and
• directing of the airflow toward a second end of the pad, the second end opposite the first end,
• wherein the protrusion is configured to space the portable electronic device from the wall of the pad for the airflow to flow at least along a portion of the portable electronic device to cool the portable electronic device.
