  1. Understanding and Calculating Tonnage

  2. Introduction • The capacity of an air conditioner is a crucial aspect to consider when selecting an AC for your home. It is vital to select the right air conditioner to maintain a cool and comfortable environment inside the house. Also, you should choose the best VRF system (air-conditioning system) with accurate tonnage to ensure its optimal efficiency and performance. When it comes to tonnage, the word does not refer to the weight of the AC system, but it determines the cooling capacity of the system. The upcoming slides can help you understand and calculate AC tonnage.

  3. What is Tonnage Tonnage is about the cooling or heating capacity of the air conditioners. It depends on the BTUs (British thermal units). BTU is the amounts of energy required to heat or cool the space. Every square foot of a room usually needs 20 BTUs per hour. One-ton AC has the power to produce 12,000 BTUs of energy in one hour, while a four-ton unit can produce 48,000 BTUs and so on. So, considering the size of your space in square foot, you can find a suitable AC with the required tonnage.

  4. Most air conditioners, especially for residential usage, come with the following: • 1.5-ton • 2-ton • 2.5-ton • 3-ton • 3.5-ton • 4-ton • 4.5-ton • 5-ton • However, if you have a larger home that demands a larger AC unit, based on the calculations mentioned above, you can get different units installed at your home.

  5. Importance of Correct Tonnage The air conditioning systems with the correct tonnage ensure that they provide consistent temperature control and maintain a comfortable indoor environment. However, a bigger unit will consume more energy and reduce its lifespan due to short cycling. On the other hand, lower tonnage cannot provide sufficient cooling, leading to an uncomfortable environment.

  6. The right AC tonnage needs consideration of numerous factors such as outside climate, room size, system's energy efficiency, etc. To choose the best VRF or HVAC systems for your home, it is wise to use an AC tonnage calculator first. All leading air conditioner brands, such as Mitsubishi Electric India, provide an online tonnage calculator that comes with easy-to-use and simple features. Mitsubishi Electric India is known to offer the best VRF AC systems that not only keep the user informed but also ensure proper cooling without excess energy consumption.
