How do find tonage of ac compressor?

Answer 1

To find the tonnage of an AC compressor, you can check the unit’s nameplate or specification label, which typically lists the cooling capacity in BTUs (British Thermal Units). To convert BTUs to tons, divide the BTU value by 12,000, since one ton of cooling capacity equals 12,000 BTUs per hour. For example, if the compressor is rated at 36,000 BTUs, it has a tonnage of 3 tons (36,000 ÷ 12,000 = 3).
