Air Conditioning: a Two Thousand Year Old Science

Air conditioning is a huge part of everyone’s lives, and it is hard to imagine the modern world without

this luxury included. You may think that you could cope, but this form of the coolant system is used all

over the world. Office buildings, cars, supermarkets and hospitals all use some form of air conditioners,

to provide a better environment.

Without some form of AC, food would spoil far quicker, and food poisoning would be rife as people

struggled to keep food fresh. People with breathing conditions such as asthma would have a poor

quality of life as temperatures begin to soar. Modern buildings would become uncomfortable to work

within, causing medical issues, and tempers to flare.

It is hard to remember back to a time when there were no wall mounted air conditioners, which could

be operated at a flick of a switch. However, a form of cooling system has been available since ancient

Egyptian times, when water traversing inside the walls of the building would keep the residents cool.

As water was considered to be a luxury, only the rich could afford this style of air conditioning. The

homes of the most prestigous would be cool, whilst the poorer people sufefred in the soaring heat.

Coolant systems continued to be developed and the ideas were incredible.

Medieval Persians continued to work on different systems, which included wind towers, and cisterns

which cooled the buildings. This straightforward idea would allow the water to evaporate, cooling the

ambient temperature which was inside the building. This idea developed further, and Scientists soon

realized that liquefied ammonia could cool the air.

Manufacturers soon discovered that their air conditioning units would be most needed throughout

industry, which is why at the turn of the century, the first electrical air conditioner unit was released.

This unit was a huge success, and enabled workers in a print plant to be comfortable, and work longer

hours.

Early models of the units contained Freon, which has now been discovered to damage the ozone and is

why many refrigerators are being replaced. Regardless of where you live, or your lifestyle, you will

discover the benefits of wall mounted air conditioners. These units are everywhere, in the air, on land

and on water, ensuring that every journey is comfortable.

The units are also used for medical reasons to filter particles in the air, and ensure that what you

breathe is pure. People with allergies will benefit from having some form of air conditioning in their

home, and thankfully these units are now affordable. As technology improves, the style of these units

continues to get better, and provide a huge array of benefits for everyone.
