Most air conditioning [AC] units are divided up into different types or categories. For example, windows units, packaged units, ground mounted, geothermal, and yes even some solar units are starting to appear on the market. For a specific answer I would need to know the manufacturers name and the model number of your AC.
The best and easiest way to determine how many watts are in an air conditioner [or used by an AC] is to find the nameplate data from the manufacturer. For window units it is normally located on the left or right side of the unit near the grill that sticks into the house. For other types of AC units it can usually be located by just looking around. Please don't confuse BTU's and Watts. BTU's are a measure of how much cooling capacity the AC has. Watts are a measure of how much electricity the AC uses.
I believe you are interested in the wattage so here is a typical example. A 12,000 BTU window type AC typically uses about 1200 watts of electricity. If your electric utility charges .10 [10 cents] per kilowatt hour it would cost about 12 cents per hours to run the AC. There are of course all kinds of variables involved; age of the AC, how efficient the compressor and fan motors are, etc.
If you are talking about a whole house AC unit the sizes can also vary considerably and there are many variables to consider. A typical new home of about 1400 ft. sq. located in the desert southwest area of the US would have a 3 Ton AC unit or 36,000 BTU ground or packaged AC unit.
3500 watts - Central Air Conditioner
600-1440 watts - Window Unit Air Conditioner
Nope
It is a 1-1/2 ton: 18000 BTU (unit size)/12,000 BTU (per ton)=1.5
60,000 btu
The BTU is an Imperial unit of measurement for energy. The watt is the SI unit for power. The BTU and watt measures different quantities, so there are no 'BTUs per kilowatt'!
Common air conditioning rating is giving in BTU/hr. You can converted the rating BTU/hr to kW by multiply BTU/hr with 0.0002931 kW/BTU. You can also estimate the cooling capacity from energy supply, generally COP for air cool air conditioning is 3.5 kWcooling/kWelectricity
A 5000 BTU air conditioner works on 1465 watts. If the BTU, 5000, is multiplied by .293071, the exact amounts are given. However, this does not display the amount of watts utilized by the air conditioner. The voltage and amperes would need to be known in order to figure the watts during usage.
yes
It depends on room size, including ceiling height. In a 9x12 foot room with 9-foot ceilings, my 5000 BTU air conditioner cools to about 60-degrees.
A 5000 BTU window air conditioner typically has a cooling capacity suitable for a small room, around 150-200 square feet. It usually has adjustable fan speeds, temperature settings, and a timer function. These units are designed to fit in standard windows and come with installation kits.
5000 BTU is a tiny amount of cooling - are you sure you don't mean 50,000 BTU? A 5000 BTU might give you a drop of 5 degrees C in a 6' x 8' office with no south facing windows, as long as the ceiling isn't too high. For a normal 10' square room, 12,000 BTU is a more reasonable starting point, then add more for sources of heat gain in the room.
Perhaps the highest btu available in a portable air conditioner is 14000 BTUs. The air conditioner that has this high btu is the Sunpentown WA-1410H, which is portable.
A 5000 btu AC unit operating at 25% efficiency operating continuously for 1 hour, will use approximately 5858 watts or 5.858 KW/h.
12,000 BTU's
tempstar 5000 model CA5548VKD2 Tonnage??? The 48 before the VKD in the model number stands for 48000, BTU. For refrigeration, 1 Ton = 12000 BTU. Therefore 48000 BTU / 12000 (1 Ton) = 4 Tons
What is the btu's in the goldstar r5205
10k btu "cars "to 25k btu "semi's" depending of vehicle size. Answer 2: For an Acura Integra 98 it's 14,2k BTU/h. And it's a small car. Source: Acura service manual.
me thinks its 5000
