When was the First Central Air Conditioning Heating Unit Made?
US patent number 808897 was granted in 1906 to Willis Haviland Carrier. The patent was for an "apparatus for treating air". Today, Carrier is considered the "father" of air conditioning. His original intention was to treat air for industrial purposes-manufacturers of certain products struggled in hot climates, the heat affecting production. Carrier, an engineer, was the first person to figure out that you had to control a number of things if you wanted to cool down a building-temperature, humidity, air purity, movement of air, and air supply and exhaust. By the 1920s, smaller air conditioning units were appearing in private homes. Theatres, department stores, hospitals, banks, and offices were already using air conditioning-the bigger places used a central air conditioning system devised by the Carrier Corporation. When the Depression of the 1930s hit, not many air conditioning units were sold, but after the Second World War, things picked up. Nowadays if you live in a really hot place in North America, not having air conditioning is unusual.
When were filament tubes invented?
The first hot filament diode tube was invented in 1904 by Fleming, the first hot filament triode tube was invented in 1907 by DeForest. However it was not until 1913 that it was determined that high vacuum was actually needed for efficient and reliable operation of these tubes. So true hot filament vacuum tubes were not made and used until 1913.
