I suspected someone by the name of Carrier started air conditioning but didn't know the story. Thanks for posting it. I'll show this to my daughter.

Excellent post, thanks. He is my new hero in this 105 degree weather we are having.
However, we went with a Trane.......

If Willis Haviland Carrier is not a candidate for sainthood, he ought to be. Thanks to him, I can inhabit my beloved home state. As a child we had no AC, and I can tell your from that experience that without his invention to filter, cool and dehumidify the air in our homes, life Texas for asthmatics and allergy sufferers is extremely difficult during the summer months.

What makes air conditioning so important is the fact that it made it possible to dramatically grow cities in the warmer climates of the southern half of the continental USA. Places like Las Vegas, NV, Phoenix, AZ and Orlando, FL could never have grown without widespread availability of air conditioning.

An air what?

I drive by the Carrier facility outside of Syracuse regularly. Sad to see that much of that is now in Mexico and China.

Very interesting article. As a person with a family history in the printing business of old, it holds special significance.
I too celebrate the wonders of human achievement!

There will be no "Sun Belt" without Carrier, period.

In the "sorta for what it's worth" department, there is a new, drop-in replacement for automotive air conditioner refrigerants, called hc-12a. It's hydrocarbon-based, so it doesn't fall afoul of the draconian regulations for CFC ( freon ), and they make claims ( backed, of course, by their own charts ) of lower temperatures, lower head pressure ( less horsepower & wear ), self-lubricating, etc.
Well, long story short, I tried it in the Zook, and it reads about 5 degrees colder versus the R-134a it replaced.
Here's one ( there are several, search ) supplier:

For your consideration.
