1 The freezer time shown is for best quality only â foods kept constantly frozen at 0Â° F will keep safe indefinitely.  How long does baked ham last at room temperature? Bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 Â°F and 140 Â°F; baked ham should be discarded if left for more than 2 hours at room temperature.
Using this to calculate theoretical water-chilling capacity: 1 ton of refrigeration (12,000 BTUs per hour) will chill. 12,000 lbs. water/fish 1Â°F in 1 hour. Theoretically, then, a sample application to chill seawater and fish: 40 tons refrigeration (480,000 BTUs per hour) will chill. 120,000 lbs. water/fish 20Â°F in 5 hours.
Best Answer: A 115 volt, 10,000 BTU Window Air Conditioning unit is capable of cooling a 500 square foot room without much strain on the unit. So a good rule of thumb is 20 BTUs per square foot. So for example, if your room to be cooled is approximately 10 x 25 you would have a 250 square foot space to cool, and would require a 5,000 BTU unit to handle the job. Caution when choosing a unit not to way overdo the BTU requirement. Many will buy a much larger unit thinking they are doing themselves a favor.
