48 -> 48000 BTU -> 3 ton
3 tons. The 36 stands for 36,000 Btu's. 1 ton = 12,000 btu's
3 ton / 36,000 BTU's
A standard ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU/h (3517 W). There for a 2 ton unit is a 24,000 BTU/h unit and a 3 ton unit is a 36,000 BTU/h unit.
Its a 37000 ( 3 TON ) BTU unit. Built in 1973 and has a seer rating of 6.7.
it is a 3 ton unit. The 36 refers to 36,000 btu's. there is 12000 btu/ton=3 ton unit
3 ton 12,000 btu per ton, the 36 is the btu's. 3 x 12 = 36
Should be 3 ton. 12,000 btu = 1 ton.
12000 btu = 1 ton 1 ton per 400 sq ft 1200 / 400 = 3 3 times 12000 = 36000 btu
If you mean BTU as in British Thermal Units cars generally have 3 to 5 ton airconditioners. A 12,000 BTU/hour cooling capacity is equivalent to 1 ton of refrigeration. The BTU equivalent of 1 ton of refrigeration is 288,000 BTU per 24 hours.
A ton is a measure of mass. A BTU is a measure of energy. There is no way to compare them. Possible meaning: 1 ton of cooling is often used to describe 12,000 BTU per hour, so 36,000 BTU/h is equal to 3 tons of cooling.
Best I can tell from the model number is three (3) Ton. The no. 36 in the model number stands for 36,000 btu's. There is 12,000 btu's per ton.
