Selecting An Emergency Air Conditioning And Replacement Independence MO Contractor

By Candice Hudson


People who live in places like Omaha, Nebraska and Independence, Missouri, either suffer or enjoy hot, steamy summers and freezing winters. It is a fairly safe bet that emergency air conditioning and replacement Independence MO is a routine occurrence. When residents hit the speed dial number for their local contractor, they probably to not spare a thought for the dozens of scientists from centuries ago whose work has heavily influenced the way today's HVAC contractors do things.

Among the scientists, engineers, and others who have contributed to HVAC today include: Michael Faraday, Sadi Carnot, James Joule, William Rankine, Nikolay Lvov, Willis Carrier, Reuben Trane, Joseph Black and Lord Kelvin, to name only a few. Here, we explore how how the life of an 18th century Russian poet, architect, geologist, historian, and graphic artist influence how emergency AC repair in Independence MO is carried 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.

Joule elucidated the connection between heat and work, what we now call mechanical energy. His First Law describes the interrelationship between current flowing through a resistor and the quantity of heat dispersed. The SI unit for energy, the joule, was named in his honor.

Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot is regarded by some as the father of thermodynamics. Born in France in 1796, he was a physicist and military engineer. Carnot's caloric theory of the heat engine was applied by Joule in his own work. Carnot's theory on the maximum efficiency of heat engines was instrumental in helping Lord Kelvin formulate his laws of thermodynamics.

Michael Faraday is credited with discerning the chemical structure of benzene based on a dream. Born in 1791 south of the Thames in Newington Butts, England, Faraday was self-educated. Faraday was also one of the early environmental scientists, and was consulted by the Royal Mint on the subject of pollution.

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.
