Heating units are not measured in tons as AC units are. Heating capacity is referred to in 1000`s of btu output per hour of operation. The ratio of input vs output = the efficiency rating, for example if your home furnace is rated at 100,000 btu per hour input and 80,000 btu per hour output . it is 80% efficient (when it was new). For AC 12.000 btu = 1 ton.
1 ton = rate of heat absorption to melt 1 ton of ice in 24 hours =12,000 BTU per hour = 3,516 watts.
A 2.5 ton A/c is the same as 30,000 BTU's 1 ton = 12,000 BTU's
A standard ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU/h (3517 W). There for a 2 ton unit is a 24,000 BTU/h unit and a 3 ton unit is a 36,000 BTU/h unit.
60 000 thousand btus
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.
A BTU is a measure of heat energy while a ton is a measure of weight. The two are not comparable.
A ton is the amount of cooling capacity (power), not energy. 1 ton is equal to 12,000 BTU/hr.
1 ton = rate of heat absorption to melt 1 ton of ice in 24 hours =12,000 BTU per hour = 3,516 watts.
12,000 btu = 0ne ton
1 ton of cooling in 12,000 btu's
4800 btu's, ton = 1200 btu's
The latent heat of fusion for ice is 144 BTU/lb. For one ton, that is 2000 lb x 144 BTU/lb, or 288,000 BTU. Refrigeration's roots are in the ice making industry, and the ice guys wanted to convert this into ice production. If 288,000 BTU are required to make one ton of ice, divide this by 24 hours to get 12,000 BTU/Hr required to make one ton of ice in one day.
A 2.5 ton A/c is the same as 30,000 BTU's 1 ton = 12,000 BTU's
A standard ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU/h (3517 W). There for a 2 ton unit is a 24,000 BTU/h unit and a 3 ton unit is a 36,000 BTU/h unit.
3 tons of refrigeration = 36,000 BTU's
12,000 BTU equals 1 A/C Ton.
20 Million BTU ****************** The heat content of coal varies. Bituminous coal typically has a gross heating value of 30,600,000 BTU per ton. The net heating value is 26,000,000 BTU per ton, assuming 85% efficiency. If you need more precise information, go to the U.S. Department of Energy website at www.doe.gov and search on the heat content of coal. -ecn
