Air conditioning allows for indoor temperature to be maintained at a suitable level, regardless of the weather or temperature outdoors. It is especially important for workspaces and environments in order to ensure the comfort of staff, as well as maintain good indoor air quality that is free from pollutants.
Engineer Willis Carrier of Buffalo Forge Heating was tasked with finding a means of controlling humidity for a printing company in 1902. He discovered that by circulating air over coils that had been chilled by compressed ammonia, air humidity was maintained at around 55%. This was how the accidental discovery of the associated temperature control benefits was made
Air Conditioning
Whilst air conditioning is an important tool in filtering out pollutants, maintaining air quality and regulating temperature, it can also negatively affect health if the air conditioning system is not maintained correctly.
Problems may include dry skin and symptoms of asthma and allergies. It may also play a role in spreading viruses when not used or maintained correctly and to high standards.
Dirty air conditioning units and filters can harbour all manner of unpleasant particles, including mould, fungus and microorganisms that are detrimental to health. Symptoms could include breathing problems, a blocked nose, headaches and sneezing.
HEPA filters are essential in ensuring that airborne viruses such as Covid-19 are not circulated around the workspace.
Filters should always be regularly and thoroughly cleaned or changed, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
