A watt is used to measure power, whereas a British Thermal Unit (BTU) is an archaic unit used for measuring energy. As power and energy are two different quantities, you cannot convert a watt into a BTU.

Your question is rather like asking, "How many kilometres per hour' are there in a furlong?"

A watt is a measure of power, while btu is a measure of energy. Power is measured in watts or btu per hour. Energy is measured in btu or watt-hours.

100,000 btu (1 Therm) is equal to 29 kilowatt-hours

There is one value that is missing from the question is voltage. One watt is equal to 3.412 BTU's per hour. The equation for Amperage is Watts divided by Volts. A = W/V. Once you have calculated the Wattage of 12000 BTU's per hour, use the wattage value in the amperage equation

The two are related but are not equivalents. 12000 btu = 1 ton of refrigeration , in a typical air conditioning application 400 cfm per ton are needed to properly support it`s operation.

Normally 12000 BTUs is the equivalent of one ton, a window unit good to accommodate a bedroom 12 ft x 12 ft x 8ft high.

No. BTUs are heat (British Thermal Units) and cfm is a measure of air flow volume (cubic feet per minute)

CFM is a unit of flow PSI is a unit of pressure you cant equate these except to say that they are inversely proportional... as pressure increases flow decreases


How do you calculatethe cooling coiling of air handling unit?

If you are talking about the forced air furnace that is in the basement or attic you would need to find the amount of air flow from your air handler (CFM) For every 400 CFM you would need about 1 ton of cooling or 12000 BTU For instance my air handler is 1200 CFM therefore i could handle 3 tons easily. This is a rule of thumb but remember that if your air filter is dirty your air flow will be decreased and could cause possible freezing of the cooling coil or evaporator coil.


How do you calculate the tonnage of AHU?

You need 350 to 400 cfm per ton (12,000 btu) of cooling. So, divide your cfm by 400. For example, a 1200 cfm blower on an air handler could handler up to 3 tons. All calculations depend on your duct being the proper size for the equipment.
