Air conditioning is the automatic creation and maintenance of comfortable microclimate conditions indoors, such ascertain temperature, humidity, airflow speed. Very often air conditioning is confused with ventilation. However, they are not synonymous. If the air conditioning creates and maintains the parameters of the air in the room, the ventilation is responsible for its inflow and outflow. This is air conditioning 101. It’s imperative that every air conditioning professional, or person working with air conditioning, has a thorough understanding of this concept if they have any hope to successfully complete their work. Here at Bag a Builder, it is important for us to educateour clients with the services that our professionals provide, so that they can have a understanding and an expectation of what they are receiving.
There are two types of air conditioning, depending on which parameters are created and maintained:
- Temperature regulation. Everything is simple here - the air passes either through the cooling element and temperature decreases, or through heating which increase the temperature in the room.
- Humidity regulation. It is achieved by evaporating steam from the air and condensing it.
The first air conditioning attempts were made in Persia thousands of years ago, however, In 1820, British scientist and inventor Michael Faraday discovered that compressed and liquefied ammonia cooled the air when evaporated - thus creating air conditioning.
The electric air conditioning method was invented by Willis Carrier around 1902.He also developed the first air conditioning system for a printing house in Brooklyn, New York and in that summer, during the printing process, constant changes in temperature and humidity did not allow achieving high-quality colour reproduction.
Carrier developed a machine that cooled the air to a constant temperature and drained it to 55%, he called his device "air treatment apparatus". In 1915, him and six of his fellow engineers founded their own company, Garrier Engineering Co., which was later renamed Carrier - today the Carrier company is one of the leading manufacturers of air conditioners.
The term air conditioning was first proposed in 1906 by Steward Kramer, who linked this concept to the receipt of air conditioning.
Later, expensive air conditioning systems have been used to improve productivity in the workplace. Subsequently, the scope of air conditioning was expanded to improve comfort in homes and cars. The 1950s saw a surge in residential air conditioner sales in the United States.
In the 21st century, energy conservation in air conditioning is becoming increasingly important. Given the deteriorating environment, providing clean indoor air is one of the most important issues.
Nowadays, the design of air conditioning systems has become widespread at the stage of developing an architectural project. A high-quality and well-designed indoor air conditioning system is a guarantee of a comfortable microclimate in the house, office or public space.
