Why AC rated in Tons, Not in kW or kVA?
Guide about Air-conditioner and Refrigeration.
AC (Air-conditions and Refrigeration are always rated in Tons.
Air conditioners are always rated in Tons capacity instead of kW because Air conditioners are designed on the basis of quantity of heat removal from room, hall or specific area.
Quantity of heat is termed in Tons means if an air conditioner is able to remove 1000 kilocalories of heat or 4120 kilojoules or 12000 BTU of heat in an hour that AC rated as 1 Ton of AC.
Because 1000 Kilocalories or 4120 kilojoules or 12000 BTU equal to one Ton of heat.
Also, this is the same case for freezer and refrigerator i.e. refrigeration system.
