Tips on How to Calculate Air Conditioner Requirements

To calculate the needs of Air Conditioner, There is one simple way to calculate the amount of air conditioning cooling capacity (in units of Btu / hr or pk) needed to condition a room. The first step is to calculate the area of ​​space that will be fitted with air conditioning. Next multiply by the standard heated indoor area of ​​1 square meter, 500 Btu / hr. For example, the room measuring 3 × 4 meters. To calculate the required AC: spacious room (3 × 4 m 2) X500 Btu / hr = 6000 Btu / hr.

Usually the power unit Air conditioners known in the market is pk. To find out, convert it into units last count pk. To find the count had just convert into a unit pk. Way, 1 / 2 pk equivalent to 5000 Btu / hr, 3 / 4 pk equivalent of 7000 Btu / hr, 1 pk equivalent to 9000 Btu / hr, 1.5 pk equivalent of 12,000 Btu / hr, 2 pk equivalent of 18,000 Btu / hr and 2 , 5 pk equivalent to 24,000 Btu / hr.

Noteworthy, Air conditioner capacity should be higher than the hot room that should be "handled." Suppose the count results obtained by the needs of 6000 Btu / hr, mean air conditioning capacity required 7000 Btu / hr or equivalent to 3 / 4 pk.
