What is BTU in Air Conditioner?

What does the BTU on air conditioner mean?

The BTU index is understood as the amount of energy it takes to 1 pound (454 grams) of water to increase by 1 degree F

BTU (short for English British thermal unit) is an energy unit used in the United States. BTU or BTU / h is simply understood as the amount of energy required for 1 pound (454 grams) of water to rise 1 degree F (Fahrenheit) and 143 BTU can melt 1 pound of ice.

This unit is used to describe the heat (energy) value of a fuel or the capacity of heaters, ovens, ovens and air conditioners.

We have convention: 1BTU ≈ 1055 J = 0.293 Wh

For example:

The smallest air conditioner used in Vietnam has a capacity of 9000BTU / h, equivalent to 1 horse (sic) with the energy generated in 1 hour is 9000 * 0.293 = 2637 W.

From the above formula we can see that the rated cooling capacity of an air conditioner with a capacity of 9000 BTU is 2637 W.

Note, BTU is an index that reflects the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, not the power consumption that many users mistakenly think.

- By area

Air conditioning capacity depends on the main factor of the area and volume of the space to be cooled. Specifically, capacity of air conditioner = 1 m2 x 600 BTU.

For example, the capacity of air conditioners for a room with an area of ​​15m2 is calculated: 15 m2 x 600 BTU = 9,000 BTU = 1 HP (1 HP is also known as 1 horse).

- By volume

Because the cooling capacity of the trench machine is also influenced by many other factors such as construction material, external heat source, the number of windows in the room, the number of people in the room, so choose the correct capacity of the air conditioner. You can draw on the volume (length x width x height).

According to the manufacturer's specifications, 1m3 room volume needs at least 200 BTU / h.
