Input power per cooling ton calculator

Lower kW/ton means less electric input for the same cooling capacity.

Units
kWper,ton=InputkWCoolingtons\mathrm{kW}_{\text{per,ton}} = \frac{\text{Input}_{\text{kW}}}{\text{Cooling}_{\text{tons}}}

Worked example

Given

  • Coolingtons\text{Cooling}_{\text{tons}} = 400 ton
  • InputkW\text{Input}_{\text{kW}} = 240 kW
kWper,ton=240400=0.6\mathrm{kW}_{\text{per,ton}} = \frac{240}{400} = 0.6
