Ventilated seat

A ventilated seat, comprising:

• a seat cover;
• an insert comprising:
• a flow control layer including at least one ventilation hole;
• a fluid barrier;
• a spacer located between the flow control layer and the fluid barrier;
• and
• a port in the flow control layer or the fluid barrier;
• at least one conduit with at least one flow hole, wherein the conduit extends across at least a portion of a seat portion of the insert;
• a seat cushion;
• a thermoelectric device (TED) as a source of temperature conditioned air;
• and
• at least one fan fluidly connected to the spacer at the port wherein the fan draws ambient air through the seat cover into the spacer through the at least one ventilation hole of the flow control layer and wherein the fan draws temperature conditioned air from the TED into the spacer through the at least one flow hole and the at least one ventilation hole.

A ventilated seat, comprising:

• an edge sealed insert located beneath a seat cover and attached to a seat cushion, the insert comprising:
• a heater layer;
• a flow control layer comprising at least one ventilation hole in a top surface of the insert;
• a fluid barrier comprising a port;
• a spacer comprising a polymeric strand material located between the flow control layer and the fluid barrier;
• and
• at least one conduit located within the seal edge of the insert with at least one flow hole directed toward the top surface of the insert, wherein the conduit extends along at least one sealed edge of the insert;
• a thermoelectric device (TED) as a source of temperature conditioned air;
• and
• at least a first fan fluidly connected to the insert at the port wherein the first fan draws ambient air through the seat cover into the spacer through the at least one ventilation hole of the flow control layer;
• and
• at least a second fan fluidly connected to the TED, the second fan blows temperature conditioned air out of the at least one flow hole and through the seat cover.
