Willis carrier (1876165438+1October 26th-1950 65438+1October 7th), an American engineer and inventor, is the inventor of modern air conditioning system and the founder of carrier air conditioning company. Because of his great contribution to the air conditioning industry, he was praised as "air conditioning" by later generations.
In the same year, Carrier, who was only 25 years old, was ordered to solve the printing technical problems of the company's Brooklyn printing plant. He found the root of the problem at once, that is, the unstable temperature and humidity affected the printing quality.
Therefore, he calculated the accurate temperature and humidity required for printing according to the national meteorological table, and with his own wisdom, developed the first air (temperature and humidity) regulating device to keep the printing workshop at a relatively constant temperature and humidity.
vocational development
During World War II, Carrier began to develop military air conditioners. Air conditioning units produced by Carrier are widely used in warships, military cargo ships and arsenals, especially in the production lines of some precision military equipment. Among them, thousands of air conditioners are used to keep food fresh in the navy, and mobile air conditioners are used to cool military aircraft of the Air Force.
Carrier is even influenced by the National Advisory Committee? ), an air conditioning device simulating polar climate was developed for military aircraft test. For this reason, Carrier won the "E" medal of the Air Force and Navy six times, and its contribution to the development of American military industry is called "the greatest engineering achievement"
