All this is further explained here. Thereof, how do you calculate tons of refrigeration?
One short ton = 2000 lb, Heat extracted = 2000 x 144/24 hr = 288000 Btu/24 hr = 12000 Btu/hr = 200 Btu/min, 1 ton refrigeration = 200 Btu/min = 3.517 kJ/s = 3.517 kW = 4.713 HP .
Beside above, how is refrigeration load calculated? Q = U x A x (Temp out – Temp in) x 24 ÷ 1000.
Correspondingly, what is the meaning of 1 ton of refrigeration?
Ton of refrigeration. It is defined as the rate of heat transfer that results in the freezing (*or melting) of 1 short ton (2,000 lb; 907 kg) of pure ice at 0 °C (32 °F) in 24 hours.
How do you calculate a ton?
Length in feet x Width in feet x Depth in feet (inches divided by 12). Take the total and divide by 21.6 (the amount of cubic feet in a ton). The final figure will be the estimated amount of tons required.
