Assuming you are referring to air conditioning, and not a ton of coal or a ton of plutonium,
then 1 ton of air conditioning equivalent = 12 000 BTU.
1 ton of cooling in 12,000 btu's
It is a 1-1/2 ton: 18000 BTU (unit size)/12,000 BTU (per ton)=1.5
This conversion is very simple : and is 1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hour.So if you have a 3 ton of refrigeration you have 36,000 BTU/hour.In addition, I want to add that in some large Data Centers, there is a movement from BTU to kW of power used by equipment. This is probably driving the Tons/kW question that the HVAC engineers are telling people cannot be solved.1 Ton of cooling will eliminate 12,000 BTU/hr of heat.12,000 BTU/hr will be produced by 3.516 kW of power used by equipment.1 Ton of cooling will then handle 3.516 kW of equipment load based heat exhaust.
A Ton is the measurement of the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice. It is also 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) So the Ton is a measurement of the amount of heat that the refrigeration system can remove.
12.5 tons
1 ton of cooling in 12,000 btu's
12,000 BTU equals 1 A/C Ton.
A 2.5 ton A/c is the same as 30,000 BTU's 1 ton = 12,000 BTU's
60,000 Btu's 12,000 Btu's = 1 ton
Assuming you are referring to air conditioning, and not a ton of coal or a ton of plutonium, then 1 ton of air conditioning equivalent = 12 000 BTU.
A BTU is a measure of heat energy while a ton is a measure of weight. The two are not comparable.
12,000 btu = 0ne ton
1 ton = rate of heat absorption to melt 1 ton of ice in 24 hours =12,000 BTU per hour = 3,516 watts.
18000 BTU means TON 1.5 ,12000 BTU means 1 TON
10,000btu
If you mean BTU as in British Thermal Units cars generally have 3 to 5 ton airconditioners. A 12,000 BTU/hour cooling capacity is equivalent to 1 ton of refrigeration. The BTU equivalent of 1 ton of refrigeration is 288,000 BTU per 24 hours.
A ton is the amount of cooling capacity (power), not energy. 1 ton is equal to 12,000 BTU/hr.
