probably already figured out the basics of how the Corbin ‘ Fire & Ice ’ system works . With just a couple of fans and some clever application we can include both heat and cool in the same saddle without pumps , compressors or fluids . It should be noted the cooling effect is affected by ambient temperature . In our samples the room temperature was 74 degrees , and it took just a few minutes to cool the seating surfaces down to a much more comfortable 63 degrees . In our continued tests , the system quickly cooled the surface 10-15 degrees below ambient temperature . On the heat side , we thermostatically set it to top out at approximately 110 degrees .”
