Reuben's invention of the convector radiator in 1923, which replaced the heavy, bulky, cast-iron radiators that prevailed at the time, was a major success. Trane's first air conditioning unit was developed in 1931. In 1982, Trane purchased General Electric's Central Air Conditioning Division.
Blue Star was founded in 1943 by Mohan T Advani as a reconditioning company. [4] [5] Soon after inception, Blue Star ventured into the manufacturing of ice candy machines and bottle coolers and began the design, execution of central air conditioning projects, followed by the manufacturing of water coolers.
Baseboard convectors are designed to heat the air in the room using convection to transfer heat from the radiators to the surrounding air. [4] They do this by drawing cool air in at the bottom, warming the air as it passes over the radiator fins, and discharging the heated air at the top. This sets up convective loops of air movement within a room.
Radiant systems are less common than all-air systems for cooling, but can have advantages compared to all-air systems in some applications. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Since the majority of the cooling process results from removing sensible heat through radiant exchange with people and objects and not air, occupant thermal comfort can be achieved with ...
However, before air conditioning existed, people had to be creative when trying to stay comfortable in sweltering conditions. Here are five different ways people across the United States beat the ...
In a steam heating system, each room is equipped with a radiator which is connected to a source of low-pressure steam (a boiler). Steam entering the radiator condenses and gives up its latent heat, returning to liquid water. The radiator in turn heats the air of the room, and provides some direct radiant heat. The condensate water returns to ...
