I was told my vehcile was desgined to run at over 220 degrees isn't that too hot

What is your question?

My fan doesn't come on until 226 degress as read by the coolent temp. sensor, unless the AC is on. Do I need to worry about damaging the engine. My temperature guage stays under the half way mark. I am concerned about damage to my engine especially in hot summer months.

If the fan is coming on at 226' and the temperature gauge is under half, I would say the coolant temperature sensor is doing it's job turning on the fan as designed. The thermostat on you car opens at 180'. Sounds like everything is working fine.
