What's Air conditioning?
From Google,we can learn that, air conditioning is a system that keeps air cool and dry.
Air conditioning
refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal
comfort. In a broader sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling,
heating, ventilation or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. An air conditioner
(often referred to as AC or air con.) is an appliance, system, or
mechanism designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within
an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air
properties at a given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, most commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor-cars.
The concept of air conditioning
is known to have been applied in Ancient Rome, where aqueduct water was
circulated through the walls of certain houses to cool them. Similar
techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the hot season. Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier.
