Abstract
The invention provides a micro-climate control unit. The invention uses a thermoelectric stack to provide both heating and cooling of a temperature controlled element. The heating and cooling uses a temperature controller which senses the need for heating or cooling and provides the current to the thermoelectric stack which provides heating or cooling. The thermoelectric stack is improved by the use of a hard spacer.
