Air Conditioner Capacity Measurement



Capacity of an Air Conditioner always measure on ton. You can hear 1ton or 3 ton AC. We know that ton is a measuring unit of mass. So, this question must be arise on your mind, why the capacity of an Air Conditioner measuring in ton??!! Now, before getting the answer of your question, I want to review some old school topics.

There are two measuring system using world wide – Metric System and Imperial System. I am not going to describe these systems.
Now,
1 ton = 2204.62 lb = 1000 Kg
1 short tone = 2000 lb = 907.185 KG
For Temperature,
0˚C = 32˚F = 273 K
100˚C = 212˚F = 373K
