Air Conditioner The inventor(s) name- Willis Haviland Carrier Date- July 17, 1902 The primary purpose of the original air conditioner was not to create comfort for people, but rather to control humidity levels in a printing plant, thereby improving the quality of printing by preventing paper from warping due to moisture changes; Willis Carrier designed it to solve a production issue for a printing company, not for personal comfort. An air conditioner cools and dehumidifies air through a refrigeration cycle, primarily using a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve, where the refrigerant absorbs heat from the indoor air in the evaporator, then releases it outdoors in the condenser, effectively transferring heat from inside to outside. This description accurately outlines the key components and functions of a typical refrigeration cycle used in air conditioning systems, where the evaporator coil absorbs heat from indoor air, the compressor raises the refrigerant's pressure, the condenser coil releases heat to the outdoors, and the expansion valve lowers the refrigerant's pressure before it re-enters the evaporator to start the cycle again.

The name of the invention should be on the poster (8.5” x 11” size), the inventor’s name and the date it was invented should also be included.
