Formula and methodology
Formula: Refrigeration tons = BTU/h ÷ 12,000; cooling power = BTU/h × 0.00029307107 kW; daily heat-removal equivalent = BTU/h × 24.
A refrigeration ton is a rate of cooling, not the mass of an air-conditioner. This calculator makes the conventional 12,000 BTU/h per refrigeration ton explicit and also shows the same rate in kilowatts. The daily value is a simple 24-hour equivalent and is not a claim about runtime, efficiency, or electricity consumption.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Cooling capacity — BTU/h; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Cooling capacity | 36000 |
36,000 BTU/h equals 3 refrigeration tons, about 10.5506 kW of cooling, and 864,000 BTU over 24 hours at constant rate.
Assumptions and limits
- The input is a cooling or heat-removal rate in BTU per hour, not fuel energy or electrical input.
- One refrigeration ton is treated as 12,000 BTU/h under the ASHRAE convention.
- The kilowatt result is thermal cooling capacity, not compressor power or electricity use.
- The daily result assumes the entered rate continued for 24 hours without cycling or derating.
- The conversion does not model coefficient of performance, climate, airflow, refrigerant, equipment selection, or local code.
