	Air conditioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An air conditioner (often abbreviated to AC in the United States and Canada, and air-con in Australia and in Britain) is an appliance or mechanism designed to extract heat from an area using a refrigeration cycle.
		An earlier form of air conditioning was invented in Persia (Iran) thousands of years ago in the form of wind shafts on the roof, which caught the wind and passed it through water and blew the cooled air into the building [1].
		Global warming may necessitate more widespread adoption of air conditioning; its lack in homes, in residential care homes and in medical facilities was identified as a contributing factor to the estimated 35000 deaths left in the wake of the 2003 heat wave.

	History of Air Conditioning
		Chilled coils were used in the machine to cool air and lower humidity to 55%, although the apparatus was made with enough precision that the humidity level desired was adjustable.
		However, during the first wave of their installation, Carrier's air conditioner units were large, expensive, and dangerous due to the toxic ammonia that was used as coolant.
		Today, air conditioners have been said to be a partial cause for the changes in the South, and for most of us who have experienced its cooling benefits in times of searing heat waves, it is an invention that is hard to live without.

	"First class has better air." --Fairechild
		Many business travelers buy first class tickets because they write off the price of their tickets as a tax deduction.
		The most obvious feature of first class is that there are fewer passengers, so we can usually get drinks more easily from flight attendants -- though I recommend getting up out of your seat anyway, just to get some exercise when you want a refreshment, and walking back to the galley.
		In first class, there's also less time waiting in line for a lavatory because there are fewer people.
