1. What is the AC Tonnage Calculator?

The AC Tonnage Calculator estimates the required air conditioning capacity (in refrigeration tons) for a given space in Bangladesh based on square footage and BTU per square foot requirements.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Ton = \frac{(Square Feet \times BTU per sq ft)}{12000} \]

Where:

\( Square Feet \) — Area of the space in square feet
\( BTU per sq ft \) — British Thermal Units required per square foot
\( 12000 \) — Conversion factor (1 ton of refrigeration = 12000 BTU/hour)

Explanation: The equation calculates the appropriate AC tonnage needed to effectively cool a specific area based on its size and cooling requirements.

3. Importance of AC Tonnage Calculation

Details: Proper AC tonnage calculation is crucial for energy efficiency, optimal cooling performance, and preventing overloading or under-sizing of air conditioning systems in Bangladesh's climate conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the area in square feet and the required BTU per square foot. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is proper AC tonnage important?
A: Proper tonnage ensures efficient cooling, reduces energy consumption, extends AC lifespan, and maintains comfortable indoor temperatures.

Q2: What factors affect BTU requirements per square foot?
A: Climate conditions, room insulation, number of windows, ceiling height, number of occupants, and heat-generating appliances all affect BTU requirements.

Q3: What is the typical BTU requirement for Bangladesh?
A: Due to Bangladesh's hot and humid climate, typically 20-25 BTU per square foot is recommended, but this may vary based on specific conditions.

Q4: Can I use this calculator for commercial spaces?
A: Yes, the calculator works for both residential and commercial spaces, but commercial spaces may require additional factors to be considered.

Q5: What if my calculated tonnage is not a standard AC size?
A: It's recommended to choose the next higher standard AC size to ensure adequate cooling capacity, especially during peak summer months.
