Yes
Willis Carrier faced several obstacles while developing air conditioning, including technical challenges related to humidity control and temperature regulation. He had to innovate solutions to effectively cool and dehumidify air, which involved understanding complex thermodynamic principles. Additionally, there was skepticism regarding the practicality and necessity of air conditioning, requiring him to demonstrate its benefits for comfort and industrial efficiency. Ultimately, his persistence and engineering ingenuity led to the successful creation of modern air conditioning systems.
Air conditioning systems typically work less efficiently in humid environments because they must remove both heat and moisture from the air. In high humidity, the system has to expend more energy to dehumidify the air before cooling it, which can lead to increased energy consumption. However, some air conditioning units are designed to handle humidity better, using features like dehumidification modes to improve efficiency. Overall, while air conditioning can still function in humid conditions, its efficiency may be compromised compared to drier environments.
central air conditioning is invented in 1902. You can read the history of it and find out more information about air conditioning at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning
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 Carrier.
No, unless you have a refrigerant leak.
Yes, it would not make sense to run the ac and dehumidify when also running the humidifier.
When you select the defrost setting , the air conditioning compressor will kick in and out to help dehumidify the air , that's normal to hear the compressor kicking in and out
If you have the heat on in the defrost position , the air conditioning compressor will cycle on and off to help dehumidify the air if the outside temperature is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer
No. Dry skin is not directly caused by air conditioning, but various other factors including illness, solvents and materials that are made to absorb moisture, including lime, some soaps which dissolve natural body oils, concrete dust, sawdust, etc. Air conditioning is designed to simply cool the surrounding air, not to dehumidify the air nor expel solvents or dust that will absorb moisture from the skin.

To help dehumidify the air
Yes, an AC dehumidifies the air by removing moisture from it as it cools the air.
Check to see if you've turned the defroster on. The AC runs in that mode to dehumidify air inside the car. Cheers
By any chance do you mean the air conditioning compressor kicking in and out when you have the defrost setting selected and heat ? My 1995 Ford Explorer does that to help dehumidify the air as long as it isn't too cold outside . ( that's normal )
No, a whole house fan is not the same as central air conditioning. A whole house fan works by drawing in cooler outdoor air through open windows and exhausting warmer indoor air, effectively ventilating the home. In contrast, central air conditioning uses a closed system to cool and dehumidify indoor air, circulating it through ductwork. While both can help regulate indoor temperatures, they operate on different principles and are used in different contexts.
Hi: Pretty much to put it in as simple as perspective as I can is to just say an A.C. ( Air Conditioning Coil ) < notice------ not cooling nor heating , but Conditioning coil, Conditions the air in which you are trying to prep for one reason or another. To dehumidify it, humidify it, heat it, cool it, clean it, on and on and on. Is there more that I can say? Hope this Helps: Jimiwane
