Recruiting An Emergency Air Conditioning And Replacement Independence MO Contractor

By Candice Hudson


Independence MO, the "Queen City of the Trails, " experiences hot, sweaty conditions during the summer months. Consequently, emergency air conditioning and replacement Independence MO is a way of life. The combined disciplines of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), depend on the work of a large number of scientists and inventors over centuries of experimentation and discovery.

Some of the names of the pioneers in heating and air conditioning will stand out as being familiar to anyone who has studied science in middle school. People like Faraday, Joule, Kelvin should be readily recognizable. People who made significant contributions, such as Reuben Trane, Nikolay Lvov, Joseph Black, Sado Carnot, and William Rankine may not be so well known. What do a Russian poet and a French military engineer have in common? Read on and find out.

Nikolay Lvov was born about 16 kilometers outside Torzhok, a Russian town on the Tvertsa River. Disgusted with the poor efficiency of the heating systems that were available in his time, Lvov developed a heat exchange system that relied on the use of duct work. Could a Russian poet have been the father of duct tape? Perhaps. His system enabled the concurrent heating and ventilation of indoor space.

Lord William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, is the name behind the absolute temperature scale that every science student is taught as a teenager. He is also responsible for formulating the two powerful laws of thermodynamics. A contemporary of British physicist and brewer, James Joule, Kelvin was born in Belfast and went to college at the University of Glasgow.

Born in Lancashire, England, in 1818, it was Joule who discovered the relationship between heat and work, or mechanical energy. Joule's First Law describes the relationship between the amount of current through a resistor, and the amount of heat that is subsequently dissipated. The SI unit of energy, the joule, is named in honor of his work.

Sadi Carnot, born Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot in late 18th century France, was a military engineer as well as a physicist. His caloric theory as it applied to the heat engine was used by Joule. Lord Kelvin was able to apply Carnot's theory on the ultimate efficiency of heat engines to his work on formulating the laws of thermodynamics.

Michael Faraday awoke from a dream one morning and immediately wrote down the structure of the simple cyclic hydrocarbon, benzene, before he had a chance to forget it. Self-educated in south London, Faraday was one of the earliest environmental scientists and consulted the Royal Mint on how to reduce pollution in the process of printing money.

This is just a tiny handful of the various scientific geniuses whose work led to today's HVAC. How far away does the work of long ago France and Russia seem to today's problems tackled by Omaha heating and cooling company. The HVAC engineer who comes to fix your AC need not be able to design buildings or recite romantic poetry, but you should be able to expect him to respond quickly to your phone call and maintain a tidy work area.
