Abstract
Due to the special structure of the car seat, the heating and cooling module must be installed in a limited area resulting in difficulty in regards to achieving optimal cooling and heating efficiency. In order to solve these problems, this paper establishes a new structure for heating and cooling modules, verifies the structural feasibility of the thermoelectric module for cooling and heating the seat through fluid simulations, and verifies the proper design of the mechanical components of the thermoelectric module.
