12,000 btus of cooling , a btu is a british themal unit
A ton is the amount of cooling capacity (power), not energy. 1 ton is equal to 12,000 BTU/hr.
12,000 btus = 1 ton of cooling ....... A 1 ton a/c unit will remove 12000 btu/hour
4800 btu's, ton = 1200 btu's
3,966,000 BTUs
An HVAC system is rated in British Thermal Units (BTUs). For example, a 2-ton air conditioning system is 24,000 BTUs. That's 12,000 BTUs per ton. So a 3.5-ton air conditioner is a 42,000 BTUs.
This depends on the unit. The tonnage just refers to cooling ability. A ton is equal to 12000 BTUs, not a weight of the unit, the coolant, etc.
The formula is simple. One ton of cooling equals 12000 btu. So a three ton A/C has a 36000 btu capacity.
How many CFM for one ton of cooling
60,000 Btu's 12,000 Btu's = 1 ton
1 ton = 12000 BTUs
