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 BTU is a measure of heat energy, while a ton is a measure of weight. Unless you're looking for the number of BTUs a ton of a particular fuel will produce, the two are not comparable.

How many btu in a ton in a freezer system?

There are 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) in a ton of refrigeration (1 ton of refrigeration = 12,000 BTU/h). This measure is commonly used in the refrigeration industry to quantify the cooling capacity of a system.


How do you Convert refrigeration tons to kWh?

To convert refrigeration tons (RT) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), you need to know the efficiency of the refrigeration system. Multiply the RT by 12,000 (which is the number of BTUs per hour in one refrigeration ton) to get the BTUs per hour. Then, divide the BTUs per hour by the system's efficiency to get the kWh required.


How do you convert A air conditioning unit from btus to tons?

The formula is simple. One ton of cooling equals 12000 btu. So a three ton A/C has a 36000 btu capacity.


Is 1 ton of refrigeration equal to 288000 Btu 24hrs?

Yes. A ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12000 BTU/hr, so in 24 hours, 288000 BTU of energy is expended. See related link, below.


What is the Tempstar air conditioner model number CA5548VKd2 tonnage?

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
