217 Industrial Water Week 2021: Cooling Wednesday
b'
Today is all about cooling. I\\u2019ve always gravitated more towards cooling than any other aspect of water treatment. I am a student of all industrial water treatment areas, but there is just something about cooling that I have always connected with. Do you have a specific area of water treatment that you tend to lean towards?
Well, today we are talking about cooling and here\\u2019s a brief history lesson for you.\\xa0The first air conditioner was developed in 1902 by Willis Carrier who invented it to remove humidity from a printing plant.\\xa0By 1933 the model for the modern air conditioner was developed.\\xa0And for those of you who are thinking, yes Trace, but I\\u2019m sure all of those coolers have been phased out over the past 100 years,\\xa0let me tell you that I get the privilege to treat the oldest chiller in the Atlanta area, it was built in 1940s, and it\\u2019s still running great.
Being able to be part of history is such a privilege, just think of all the inventions along the way that got us to where we are today. The more you know about history, the more you can appreciate it
Where would we be without coolers and where would you be without them? They are just the coolest pieces of technology. Join me on today\\u2019s episode as we celebrate Cooling Wednesday in this year\\u2019s Industrial Water Week.\\xa0
