12000
One ton of air conditioning capacity is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. A 3-ton air conditioning unit therefore has a cooling capacity of 36,000 BTU per hour.
One ton of cooling capacity is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. This measurement is commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry to denote the cooling power of air conditioning units. Thus, if you have a system rated at one ton, it can remove 12,000 BTU of heat from a space each hour.
The formula is simple. One ton of cooling equals 12000 btu. So a three ton A/C has a 36000 btu capacity.
A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of measurement used to quantify energy. When referring to air conditioning systems, the cooling capacity is often measured in Btu per hour, with one ton of cooling equivalent to 12,000 Btu per hour.
In relation to air conditioning a BTU is a British Thermal Unit and most air conditioning manufacturers advise that 1 HP or horsepower equipment is enough to remove 9000BTU/hr. of heat.
One Ton with respect to Refrigeration equals 12000 BTU/hr. (British Thermal Units) so 12000 BTU = 3.516 Kilowatts =3516 Watts.So as simple as it is.Consumes this much Power
This is a power unit conversion from British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr.) to its equivalent in horsepower (hp). There are 2544.43 btu/hr. in one horsepower. Conversely, there are 0.000393 hp in one Btu/hr.
You can't.....BTU/Hr is a unit of heat input i.e. Energy. Cu. ft./hr is a measure of volume flow rate. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you are talking about Natural Gas divide btu input or output by 1000 for cubic feet of fuel used, propane divide by 2500 btu for cubic feet of vapor used.
British Thermal Unit. Does that help? Actually, the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water, one degree F. In A/C terms it is generally BTUH with the H indicating "per hour." A/C terms are generally associated with a time frame.
There are many sources to find information on Modern Refrigerator and Air Conditioning. Wikipedia is a good source as are manufacturers of refrigerators and air conditioning units.
