| Welcome to airconditionmission3.com where
you can find all things related to the world of Air
Conditioners. Air conditioning. What a lifesaver. It
has made the suburbs possible. Manufacturing from the
north to the south occurred because plants could be
built and people could work in them without collapsing
from the heat. Its cost at one point, however, drew
one scientist, William Schockley the co-inventor of
the transistor, to move his research facilities to California,
to what later became known as Silicon Valley. There
he did not have to put air conditioning in his building.
Even when air-conditioning was purposely avoided, it
had an impact.
So it started out as a way of making people comfortable.
Right? Well, not exactly. In 1882, thanks to Thomas
Edison, the first electric power plant opened in New
York making it possible for the first time to have
an inexpensive source of energy for residential and
commercial buildings. And by 1889, central station
refrigeration was used in large cities to preserve
foods and documents. It was well known that a cool
surrounding could preserve foods and other perishables
for a long time. But what was not well known was how
humidity and heat were related. Then in 1902, Willis
Carrier built the first air conditioner to combat
humidity inside a printing company. Controlling the
humidity in printing companies and textile mills was
the start of environment management. |
