not very well. a 4 ton system needs about 1600 cfm to provide it's full capacity of cooling. a 3 ton furnace puts out about 1200 cfm. in addition, the evap coil typically attached to the furnace needs to match the tonnage of the outdoor unit. so, the evap coil must be 4 tons. If you currently have a 3 ton furnace and evap coil, the system will not work, and you will most likely ruin the compressor in the outdoor unit.
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.
Work is defined as Force applied over a distance i.e. W=F*x. The units are, therefore, 1Newton*1meter=1Joule. Work is measured in Joules! Work is energy. Any unit used for energy is a perfectly good unit for describing work. The SI unit is the joule. Other examples include foot-pound, watt-second, kilowatt-hour, dyne-centimeter, ton-furlong, horsepower-hour, etc.
1 TON of air conditioning requires 400 cubic feet per minute of air movement in the average HVAC system.
12,000 btus of cooling , a btu is a british themal unit
just the condensing unit roughly 1500to2000
It is a 4 ton Condensing Unit
It is a 3 ton.
5 Ton.
4 ton
4 ton
2.5 ton

The rating is technically a minimum. You could use a larger coil and have it work. But if its a Evaporator coil it will need to be matched on the far end with a similar or larger condenser coil. If the Condenser coil is larger it will probably just take a little more refrigerant.
2.5 ton should do it
This is a 5.0 ton 12 SEER straight cool condensing unit.
Between $490-765. That's a range for a 2 ton to 5 ton residential a/c coil cleaning.
