1941 CARRIER PROMOTIONAL FILM " WEATHER BY CARRIER: THE STORY OF AIR CONDITIONING " XD13154

[@newstart49]

When I started air conditioning in the 70's, we worked on many a 30+ year old air conditioners. The simplicity and ease of service was nice. Though the systems weren't efficient by today's standards, the systems were well built and cheap to repair. Today, just an indoor motor in your home could cost as much or more to replace as a compressor replacement cost back then. We sold R22 for $.30 a pound compared to as much as $60.00 to $100.00 a pound today. But then corporations weren't quite as greedy about power and money back then and didn't use the EPA as a weapon to get what they wanted. Too bad R22 was the best refrigerant ever designed for a system. R22 systems could last indefinitely with few repairs if proper maintenance and periodic part replacements were done. Now THAT saves the planet- compared to today having to replace your system every 10-15 years! What a scam; Use an extra $500 in resources to save $100 on electric bills.

Fascinating comment. Plus today the mechanicals are all plastic parts that don't last. Love our channel? Help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.

The government has poked a large thorn REPEATEDLY in the TAXPAYERS who pay for ALL of Washington D.C. I'll bet they'll NEVER shut off their A/C, but they are demanding that we do.

[@new2000car]

First it was the hole in the ozone layer, then it was acid rain, then global warming, which was strategically changed to climate change, all scams. 100 years of man releasing Freon into the atmosphere, from leaks in systems, is less pollution than 1 day of mt. Vesuvius erupting. R12 and R22 , particularly with their long lasting equipment back in the day, are the most environmentally friendly systems we ever had. That includes the fact that the systems were often only a 5 SEER many decades ago.

May Dr Carrier's soul rest in peace for he has made it possible to live in otherwise not livable places

[@EnzoGorlomi]

Dr Carrier, from bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your invention. You are a true great innovator❤❤❤

[@filmadordecarros]

I'm surprised by the excelent Frequency Response of this Film's audio. I couldn't imagine to listen to a 1940's Film clip that has any sound content above 8kHz. Very well recorded.

[@willjenkins2842]

Maybe it's just my old ears, but there's way more wow and flutter on the music than there is The voice. Could be the record player they're using for the music

[@jimrapp6955]

I worked for Carrier before it was bought out by United Technologies in the late 70's. I visited the main centrifugal manufacturing plant in Syracuse NY several times before it was relocated to Mexico.

[@wrenchmonkey3920]

just got sold back to ourselves. The old centrifugal molds are still in storage, wish I could have seen things running back then. Seeing TR1 & 2 demoed was shocking.

[@milo6373]

Loved these films in the early 70s in grade school , always have a feel good vibe watching them... ✌️👍💪 Thanks for sharing time history of Carrier , hope more companies come back home where they belong... 🤔😔

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Great video!!! Thanks for posting it!

[@locouk]

3:44 The fish looked dead and lifeless, poor thing.

[@bobmarker6812]

I noticed that too!

[@johncholmes643]

You said it first

[@claudiaterrazas7673]

Carrier turn to the experts

[@kenneth6731]

The water would be very cold, please take into consideration.

[@locouk]

@@kenneth6731 The next step is to freeze the water and make sure it’s dead.

[@TLKBrand]

Respect to everyone who keeps up with their hvac systems! Carrier would be proud.

[@SouthernIg]

Deserves the Nobel.

[@paulakpacente]

THANK GOD for Mr. Carrier!

[@EuroS50]

And Carrier used to be a 105 year old US company, with all of their product produced in the US.... until they sold out and brought manufacturing to China and laid off thousands of US workers.

[@mikee2923]

Them and everyone else.

[@SeaworthyShippingServices]

Thank you

[@jonnymoka]

I can’t wait to find out if they show the giant air conditioner at the Magma Copper mine in Superior AZ.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

Does anyone know what refrigerant "Carriene" is at 6:46 ? Perhaps R12?

[@gregorymalchuk272]

@@Muonium1 Yeah, the fact that it wasn't boiling violently at ambient pressure would seem to limit the possibilities. I don't think it would be anhydrous ammonia or sulfur dioxide which would be toxic and definitely couldn't be carbon dioxide which isn't liquid at room temperature. Was R11 a refrigerant that predated R12?

[@sf-jim8885]

I believe Carrene was Carrier's concoction of methylene chloride & difluorethane

[@michaelhelgeland4588]

It is methylene chloride. R11 was Carrene #2 and R12 with R152A was Carrene #7.

[@geraldstravinsky]

Definitely not “odorless, harmless and safe” lol

[@mikee2923]

R-11, which is probably what that guy was pouring on his hand was safe, harmless and odorless. It was also an excellent cleaning agent. Ammonia (R-717) was dangerous for obvious reasons. R-12 and 22 were basically harmless unless exposed to flame and they also removed oxygen from the air if released in large quantities in an enclosed space. The hysteria about refrigerants putting holes in the ozone layer were greatly exaggerated. It was said it was because of their chlorine content. If that were actually true, why are people allowed to have swimming pools? You have to add chlorine to the water why? Because the sun evaporates it. I would guess to say a lot more chlorine is evaporated from swimming pools than from leaking air conditioners. It is all basically about money and getting rid of the middle class. Nothing else.

[@WalterKnox]

I hate it when 4:3 videos are uploaded inside of a 16:9 format. It makes it not take up the whole screen when you are using a real 4:3 display.

[@PeriscopeFilm]

Well -- the film was originally shot on 16mm, so it was NEVER 16x9. The way we present it, with a pillarbox, preserves the original dimensions so it appears as it would have been seen by an audience when the film was shown in a movie theater.

[@WalterKnox]

@@PeriscopeFilm I know it was never a 16:9, it IS a 4:3, but it wasn’t uploaded in a 4:3, it was uploaded as a 4:3 inside of a 16:9, so when you are watching it on an old 4:3 display, it doesn’t fill up the screen.

[@WalterKnox]

@@PeriscopeFilm I upload all of my videos on in the original 4:3 aspect ratio as shot on old VHS cameras, not inside of a 16:9

[@PeriscopeFilm]

So -- are you really watching this on a 4x3 display? Like a Kaypro or an IBM PC? It's intriguing and kind of cool ...

[@WalterKnox]

@@PeriscopeFilm it is a Zenith system 3 from 1984. But yes, I still prefer to use CRT 4:3 displays for most things. Not complaining BTW, I am glad this video was preserved, it is just sort of annoying that websites do that. A lot of TV channels seem to do the same thing.

[@CT-vm4gf]

That fish did not look happy in that condensate.

[@Tyler_Owen23]

Those dead fish! 🤣 think about how cold that water was. Lol

[@pantherplatform]

Which ocean liner was that?

[@jeffreywolski1426]

The goldfish look dead!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Carrier built Las Vegas

[@Seshuvadrevu9999]

whats the refrigrant used? i didnt get it @6.51

[@49commander]

Chrysler Air Temp actually invented modern air conditioning in most buildings!

[@milo6373]

Their system was installed in their New York building first system ever transfer from Carriers refrigeration systems in box cars on the railroad ability to ship beef from slaughterhouse , ✌️👍💪🙏🤔

70° is *HOT*

No it isn’t lol

They're dead.

[@yahyamoro]

Canaries have been domesticated since the late 1400s . To release them into the wild is a death sentence . Would you release a dog or a chicken into the bushes & expect them to survive like wild animals ? Really ?
