Abstract

A vehicle seat is provided with a temperature-control system which is connectable or connected to a temperature-control circuit that conveys a temperature-control medium. Thermal energy from the temperature-control medium conveyed in or to at least one temperature-control heat exchanger of the temperature-control system is deliverable to and/or absorbable from the surroundings. The vehicle seat has at least one flow generation system, in particular a fan system, which generates a gas flow. The at least one flow generation system is controllable by a controller, with the temperature of the gas flow being controllable via at least one temperature-control heat exchanger and/or via an electrically operated temperature-control element.
