When Was Air Conditioning Invented?

If you have an air conditioning unit installed in your home, you’ll know that they’re basically a miracle, but when did it start?

Key Takeaways

• Modern air conditioning systems as we know them today were initially created by Willis Haviland Carrier in 1902.

• Carrier owned a printing plant in Brooklyn, New York, in the USA. He was trying to figure out how to control humidity in the plant when he discovered the technique of utilising a compressor to compress a refrigerant gas and circulating it through a series of coils.

• Heated gas would be pumped outside of the building, and fans would blow the cool air produced from the cooled coils into the building.

Since then, air conditioning units have come a long way, now using safer refrigerants and more efficient and effective cooling methods. Talk to Cold Sense today about how you can experience the miracle of air conditioning in your home today.
