Air-conditioning : History |
After W.W.II Japan enjoyed
rapid economic growth, and its society and industry
developed on the American model. Based on American
products, Toshiba made its first air conditioning
units, and introduced improvements throughout
the 1950s. By 1961, they were able to introduce
the world's first split units. Its new role as
innovator, continued with the introduction of
Japan's first rotary compressor in 1968.By the
1970s, Toshiba had arrived as a modern multinational
company, with a varied product portfolio and world-wide
manufacturing sites. In 1978 the name Toshiba
Corporation was formally adopted, at the same
time as the first computerized compressor units
were being introduced. Further advances included
the world's first inverter unit in 1981and the
world's first gas fired inverter and twin rotary
compressor in 1988. |
