The 'Apparatus for Treating Air' (U.S. Pat# 808897) granted in 1906, was the first of several patents awarded to Willis Haviland Carrier. The recognized 'father of air conditioning' is Carrier, but the term 'air conditioning' actually originated with textile engineer, Stuart H. Cramer. Cramer used the phrase 'air conditioning' in a 1906 patent claim filed for a device that added water vapor to the air in textile plants - to condition the yarn.

I know this question is dead...However,

I disagree with cyrusrua! I had just done a paper on air conditioner history and I found out that...Ancient Greeks, Chinese invented the ideas be hide air conditioner units. I don't want to repeat what had been written somewhere else. Read it here: http://www.central-air-conditioner-and-refrigeration.com/air-conditioning-history.html
