Abstract

The paper discusses the prospects of thermoelectric air conditioning of vehicle seats, which can be used to save energy resources and improve the temperature conditions of a person’s stay in a vehicle. To determine the most rational options for using these air conditioners, their classification was carried out depending on the method of thermoelectric air conditioning. Bibl. 30, Fig. 4.
