French engineer and inventor.
One of the most successful centrifugal fans of the mid 19th century was that designed by Théophile Guibal. Guibal was born in Toulouse and educated in Paris. He invents the propeller fan, first used to refresh air in mines and was installed in around 150 locations in France, Belgium and the UK by 1870. At the time of this invention he was Professor of the Exploitation of Mines at the University of Mons, Belgium. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that ‘air conditioning’ arrived, and in particular the invention of refrigeration that enabled real progress to be made in respect of controlling working climate and providing a comfortable environment.
