An air conditioner (eakon in Japanese) is an electrical appliance used to cool and regulate the temperature of a room or building by removing heat and moisture from the air. It provides a comfortable indoor environment, especially during hot weather, and helps to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for both living and working spaces. Air conditioners can also be used for heating purposes in colder months, making them versatile for year-round use.
History
↓↓
The air conditioner is a device that cools and dehumidifies indoor air for comfort or industrial use.
The first modern air conditioner was invented by Willis H. Carrier in 1902 to control humidity in a printing plant.
Early air conditioning was primarily used in factories, theaters, and commercial buildings rather than homes.
In Japan, air conditioning became widely available in offices and homes during the 1960s, alongside postwar economic growth.
Advances over time have made air conditioners more efficient, compact, and capable of heating, cooling, and air purification.
Today, air conditioners are a standard feature in homes, offices, and vehicles worldwide, essential for comfort and climate control.
