A temperature regulation unit includes a housing (30,830), a conduit, a fan (90, 890), and a thermal element (80, 880). The housing has a sidewall (32, 832) with an upper end (22, 822) and a lower end (24, 824). The sidewall (32, 832) defines an internal cavity. The conduit is disposed within the internal cavity of the housing (30, 830) and defines a passage. The conduit has a first end and an opposing second end. The fan (90, 890) is positioned within the internal cavity of the housing (30, 830) at the first end of the conduit. The fan (90, 890) is configured to provide an airflow to the passage of the conduit. The thermal element (80, 880) is positioned within the passage of the conduit. The thermal element (80, 880) is configured to thermally regulate a temperature of the airflow flowing past the thermal element (80, 880) and out of the opposing second end of the conduit.
