Air Conditioning

refers to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation or disinfection that modifies the Conditioning of air, typically for thermal comfort. The more common use of air Conditioning is to mean cooling and often dehumidification of indoor air, typically via refrigeration.

Air Conditioning engineers broadly divide air Conditioning applications into comfort and process.

Comfort applications aim to provide an indoor environment that remains relatively constant in a range preferred by humans despite changes in external weather Conditionings or in internal heat loads.


Health implications

A poorly maintained air-Conditioning system can occasionally promote the growth and spread of microorganisms, such as Legionella pneumophila, the infectious agent responsible for Legionnaires' disease, or thermophilic actinomycetes. Conversely, air Conditioning, including filtration, humidification, cooling, disinfection, etc., can be used to provide a clean, safe, hypoallergenic atmosphere in hospital operating rooms and other environments where an appropriate atmosphere is critical to patient safety and well-being. Air Conditioning can have a positive effect on sufferers of allergies and asthma.
