You need 350 to 400 cfm per ton (12,000 btu) of cooling. So, divide your cfm by 400. For example, a 1200 cfm blower on an air handler could handler up to 3 tons. All calculations depend on your duct being the proper size for the equipment.
Fan Powered Terminal Units. It means there is a blower in the downstream duct to help assist CFM flow from the main air handler unit ( usually in a commercial application).

If you are talking about the forced air furnace that is in the basement or attic you would need to find the amount of air flow from your air handler (CFM) For every 400 CFM you would need about 1 ton of cooling or 12000 BTU For instance my air handler is 1200 CFM therefore i could handle 3 tons easily. This is a rule of thumb but remember that if your air filter is dirty your air flow will be decreased and could cause possible freezing of the cooling coil or evaporator coil.
Yes, provided you have the properly matched Goodman evaporator coil in the air handler and the air handler is capable of delivering the correct amount of air flow (cfm) to support the new unit.

CFM stands for cubic feet per minute, which is a unit of measurement used to quantify the volume of air that a fan or blower can move in a minute. It is commonly used in ventilation, air conditioning, and heating systems to describe the flow rate of air. A higher CFM rating indicates that the device can move a greater volume of air in a given time period.
There are 400 cfm in 1 ton
1 ton A/C have 400 CFM
The amount of air produced by a 1 horsepower (hp) blower can vary based on its design and efficiency, but a typical 1 hp blower can produce around 100 to 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air. The specific output also depends on factors like the blower's operating pressure and the application for which it's used. For precise figures, it's best to consult the manufacturer's specifications.
