Equipment Cooling Tonnage Calculator
Convert BTU/hr thermal load into standard commercial or residential cooling tonnage rating.
Tonnage Conversion Formula:
\( \text{Tonnage} = \frac{\text{BTU/hr}}{12,000} \)
Note: 1 Ton of cooling capacity equals 12,000 BTU/hr (or 3.517 kW of continuous thermal extraction).
