The Rheem RAMC-048JBZ condenser has a nominal cooling capacity of 4 tons. This is typically indicated by the "048" in its model number, where each ton of cooling capacity is equivalent to 12,000 BTU/h, resulting in a total capacity of 48,000 BTU/h for this unit.
Looks to be 250,000 BTU Input of heat and 12.5 tons of cooling
12,000 btu of cooling capacity.
Cooling capacity is typically measured in British Thermal Units per hour (BTU/hr) or in tons. One ton of cooling capacity is equivalent to the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice in a 24-hour period. The higher the BTU/hr or tonnage, the greater the cooling capacity of the system.
24000 btu cooling capacity or 2 tons
4 tons, 48 in the model # is the unit capacity in 1000`s of btu (48,000), There are 12,000 btu in one ton. 48 divided by 12 = 4.
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.
BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, which is a unit of energy used to measure heating or cooling capacity. BTUH, on the other hand, stands for British Thermal Units per hour, which measures the rate at which heating or cooling capacity is delivered. In simple terms, BTU measures the total amount of energy, while BTUH measures how quickly that energy is delivered.
The US uses BTU per hour. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit
As i found: A measure of the effective cooling capacity of a refrigerator, expressed in Btu per hour ot in tons, where one ton of capacity is equal to the heat required to melt 2000 pounds of ice in 24 hours or 12000 Btu per hour.
Most manufacturers put a number related to Btu's of the unit in the model. If Rheem is no different then that 42 represents a 3.5 ton unit as there are 12,000 btu's / ton and 3.5 X 12 = 42.
Between (.07) and (.24) BTU per cubic foot. For Central Air, might be better to use (.07 BTU per Cu.Ft.) For window AC unit cooling 150 square feet, use (.024 BTU per Cu.Ft.) For window AC unit cooling 1600 square feet, use (.07 BTU per Cu.Ft.) [[[ All scenarios assume 8 foot ceilings ]]]
