Life Without Air Conditioning
Of all of the great inventions that have come along in the history of mankind, it is hard not to put the invention of electricity right up at the top, as so many other inventions since seem to be dependent upon it. Lighting, television, radio, and all of our home appliances quickly come to mind next. They are such an integral part of our daily lives that we now regularly take them for granted. And flying right under the radar is the invention of air conditioning, a feature that is so important in our lives for many health reasons as well as comfort reasons that one is compelled to ask where would we be without it?
For instance, without air conditioning, summer time would be almost unbearable in some places. Temperatures can reach over 100 degrees in states such as Nevada for several days at a time. This is the reason why at some points, city officials advise that residents limit their outdoor activities. This includes jogging, walking the dog or even gardening. So let’s imagine if these homes have no air conditioning unit in any of the homes. Then, it really wouldn’t make much of a difference whether they were inside or outside. In fact, they wont have anywhere to go so as to get maximum comfort. In actuality, comfort would be the least of their worries. Trying to avoid a heat stroke and dehydration would be the primary objective. This is the main reason why you should have a reliable air conditioning unit is so important.
Thinking of applications other than just being able to alter the ambient temperature in a room, here is where the real benefits of conditioning air, a.k.a. refrigeration, really comes into play. A refrigerator, one of the most important appliances to be found in your home, is wholly dependent upon using the principles of conditioning air. The same can be said for all of our commercial transportation vehicles that are now refrigerated for the movement of food from processing and distribution locations to stores where they are kept fresh until we bring them home and put them in our refrigerator. Refrigerated trucks, railcars, grocery display units, and yes even the ambient temperature within the store are all factors that make our life what it is today. Take a moment to imagine what your meats or produce today would look like if your local store was denied access to refrigeration. Life would be very different indeed! We could live without television or radio, but it would be much harder to live without refrigeration.
The development of both summer and winter air conditioning can be said to have attributed to the Americans and along with this, were improvements made in boilers, automatic controls, automatically fired furnaces and thermal insulation. Clearly, the development of the air conditioning system has brought so much comfort to everyday lives and favorable environments to our ever-growing industries.
