Air Conditioning Term â¦. âTonâ 1 ton of capacityequals 12,000 Btu/hr â¦ for 24 hours Background on the derivation for tons of refrigerationâ¦and information on the similar SI standard 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. As a rule of thumb, 400 square feet can be cooled per 12,000 BTU/hr (12,000 BTU/hr equals one ton of air conditioning). However, other factors which will also affect the total heat load. â¢ Simply put, a one-ton air conditioner can remove 12,000 BTU from a space per hour.
1 The price for replacing air conditioner coils depends on the particular unit of the air conditioner. 2  The central AC unit size is basically the biggest determinant for the coil replacementâs price. 3  The price for 1.5 ton will differ from higher unit sizes such as 2.5, 4 and 5 ton coils. HeatingAndCoolingWarehouse.com gives the price for the coil of each unit size. 2  Two-ton coil, for example is priced around $239 while a 2.5-ton coil costs $259. 3  As expected the price goes higher as the unit size increases.
