Formula and methodology
Formula: Cooling tons = cooling load / 12,000 BTU/h per ton.
This converts a stated cooling load into the conventional nominal ton unit; it is not a room-sizing recommendation.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Cooling load — BTU/h; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Cooling load | 36000 |
Nominal cooling capacity = 3 tons.
Assumptions and limits
- The load estimate is already calculated in BTU per hour.
- One nominal refrigeration ton is treated as 12,000 BTU/h.
- Climate, insulation, windows, ducting, equipment efficiency, and code requirements are excluded.
