A Ton is the measurement of the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice. It is also 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) So the Ton is a measurement of the amount of heat that the refrigeration system can remove.

What is the meaning of air conditioner tonnage?

One ton =12,000 btu's. A 5 ton unit would provide 60,000btuh of cooling. lc Refrigeration is the ability to remove heat. Like anything else distance,weight, temperature etc. there is a need to measure it. Tonnage is the unit of measure used to express refrigeration capacity.


What is the tonnage of a 108000 btu ac?

A ton of refrigeration is defined as the amount of heat removal required to change one ton of water (2000 pounds) at 32 degrees F to one ton of ice at 32 degrees F in one day which is 288000 BTUs. Today it is assumed that BTU ratings are by the hour, so one ton of refrigeration is the removal of 1200 BTU/hr. So if your air conditioning unit is removing 108000 BTUs/hr it is a 108000/12000 or 9 ton machine.


What does 'ton' means in 2 ton or 1.5 ton air conditioner is it the physical weight or something else?

It is the amount of refrigeration produced equal to the weight of ice (1 T, 1.5T or 2T etc.) melted in 24 hrs. Ravi Sharma ravisharma42@gmail.com


How many BTU per Hour equals 1 Ton of Air Conditioning?

Air conditioners are rated in three ways, by B.T.U.'s, tons of refrigeration, or by horsepower. One ton of refrigeration removes the amount of heat needed to melt one ton of ice in 24 hours. One ton of refrigeration can remove 12,000 B.T.U.'s of heat in one hour. The B.T.U. is the amount of heat needed to raise 1 lb. of pure water 1 deg F.

How do Convert ton to watts?

When talking about refrigeration, a ton is a unit of power. To quote wikipedia:"In North America, a standard ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU/h = 200 BTU/min ≈ 3,517 W. This is approximately the power required to melt one short ton (2,000 lb) of ice at 0 °C in 24 hours, thus representing the delivery of 1 ton of ice per day." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton)
