Abstract

A combined intake and exhaust manifold (1) for a thermoelectric temperature control device includes an outer manifold case (2) that partially encases a first case interior (3), and an inner manifold case (4) provided in the first case interior (3), which partially encases a second case interior (5). The outer and the inner manifold cases (2, 4) have a joint connection side (6) for connecting a fluid line (17a, 17b). The manifold further includes at least one first flow-through opening (7a, 7b) for introducing or discharging a fluid into or out of the first case interior (3) and at least one second flow-through opening (8a, 8b) for introducing or discharging the fluid into or out of the second case interior (5) on the connection side (6).
