Method for heating a seat
First Claim
1. Method for heating a seat comprising a heating element (2) connected to a control unit (1), which is arranged to feed a current (I) through the heating element (2), comprising:
- detection of the current temperature (T) of the heating element (2),control of the temperature (T) by feeding said current (I) through the heating element (2) if said current temperature (T) falls below a predetermined desired temperature (TB), the control of the temperature (T) comprising;
determining an additional value (.increment.TB) for said desired temperature (TB), the magnitude of said additional value (.increment.TB) being dependent on the operation or the design of said seat, andadding said additional value (.increment.TB) to said predetermined desired temperature (TB) in connection with said control for adjusting the temperature (T) of the heating element (2) during said heating of the seat so that the temperature of the surface of the seat corresponds to said predetermined desired temperature (TB).

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for heating a seat comprising a heating element (2) connected to a control unit (1), which is arranged to feed a current (I) through the heating element (2) comprising the detection of the current temperature (T) in connection to the heating element (2) and the control of the temperature (T) by feeding said current (I) through the heating element (2) if said current temperature (T) falls below a predetermined desired temperature (TB). The invention is characterized in that it comprises determining an additional value (.increment.TB) of said desired temperature (TB) and adding said additional value (.increment.TB) to said predetermined desired temperature (TB) in connection with said control by means of the invention. An improved temperature control for a heatable seat is provided, in particular intended for motor vehicles.
