Willis Carrier, Inventor of air conditioning



Willis Highland Carrier (W. November 26, 1876-T. 7 October 1950), an American engineer and inventor, known for inventing the air conditioning.

The Fog and the Innovation Story,

In 1902, a year after he graduated, Carrier had designed the first modern air-conditioning system, an invention that will develop to occupy the entire world, indispensable to anyone.

The inspiration for this invention came from the train platform in Pittsburgh, where Carrier was waiting for the train there one evening in 1902 and noticed the amount of thick fog, and thought it could be reduced by drying the air by passing it through the water.

And once he got on the train, I had this idea that it could control the temperature and the humidity, and that's what led him to invent the air conditioner, that his main concern was how to control the humidity in the air.

Within the year, he had completed his invention, which was based on the idea of controlling the air through a certain amount of moisture, and this was the first invention, the building block on which modern air conditioning was built.

The Invention of the Air Conditioner and the Establishment of the Carrier Company

Carrier was only 25 years old when he found a way to keep the temperature and humidity in the air.·

The first thing he needed was a printing press in the Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City during the hot heat·  

The printing press had color-fixing problems on paper, and the inks changed in size with the high humidity· 

And he used the same device in a shop for the exact opposite purpose, as lack of humidity in the air produced automatic electricity Cotton fiber ·

In 1902, Carrier installed the air conditioners, first known as the heat conditioners, without realizing a significant change point in human history·.

Then Carrier began to turn his ideas to the service of individuals. During the summer months, cinemas and theaters were empty of patrons, because the temperature inside them was too high·

He modified his central centrifuge cooling system, and in 1925, he installed the first prototype of the new device at Times Square·

Theater, and within five years there were 300 theaters hanging on their doors, signs that said, "The theater is cold with refrigeration appliances, ·” and so Carrier entered the business·

And the refrigeration appliances that Carrier invented then entered the global framework, and in 1930 he put one of his devices in the Rambagh Palace in India·, and this wasn't easy, because the bulk of the equipment had to be transported on elephants·

Four years later, train cars belonging to the South Manchuria Railway Company received cooling and heating systems, followed by the Damascus and Baghdad buses. 

In 1938, air conditioners were installed in Studio Masr near the pyramids·

After World War II, Carrier turned his attention to the cooling of private homes·, and by 1965, ten percent of the homes in the United States had air conditioning units ·, and they had a total of about three million units·

The lesson of apples and fractions.

One of the interesting aspects of Carrier's life is that as a child he had problems with math, this guy who led the invention that enabled the management of the indoor environments of buildings, was not a child capable of understanding the concept of fractions.

And to solve this problem, his mother was cutting apples into pieces so that you could bring him this concept, and how he would deal with fractures together and subtraction.

He later said that this was the most important lesson he had ever learned, and that he taught him the value of solving problems in an intelligent way.
