The Amps means the volume of flow of electricity. The Amps depends on its BTU (British Thermal Unit). BTU is the unit to measure the energy that is consumed to perform some Air Conditioner. 12000 BTU Air conditioners uses 5 to 6 Amps. 18000 BTU Air conditioners uses 9 to 10 Amps. 12000 BTU air conditioners also called 1 Ton AIR CONDITIONER and 18000 BTU Air conditioners are called 1.5 Ton and so on. The 2 Ton or 24000 BTU Air conditioners use 15 Amps to work.
at 230v it will use 5 to 6 amps
12,000 Btu is 4.7hp
There is no direct relation between volts and BTU.
18000 BTU means TON 1.5 ,12000 BTU means 1 TON
12000
12000BTU is 4.7hp
650 sft multiplied by 26 which means 16900. I BTU =12000 Divide 16900/12000 = 1.4 ton
A btu is a measure of energy, but 18,000 btu per hour is a power of 5.22 kW, which is 5220/220 amps, 24 amps.
12000 per hour
usually 20 btu's per square foot so......12000 btu's should do fine
12000 btu = 1 ton 1 ton per 400 sq ft 1200 / 400 = 3 3 times 12000 = 36000 btu
It depends on the efficiency rating of the unit. Look on the data plate. It should should you the wattage. Some 8,000 BTU window units that run on 120 volts only draw about 7 amps, which is only about 840 watts. You can run that on a standard wall outlet.
