What is air conditioner ton
Ton as the name suggests is equivalent to 1000 kg. How is this related to air conditioner?
So one ton is equal to 12000 BTU.
Cooling capacity of an air conditioner is measured in tons so one ton AC provides 12000 BTU in one hour.
How much ton AC is suitable for your room
The cooling of a room also depends on other factors other than ton like, insulation, number of windows, sunlight, heat producing appliances in the room like TV, computer etc.
A simple calculation is as follows
Multiply the length, breadth and height of the room (take units as feet). Then divide this by 1000 to get the ton capacity
Example if the room’s size is 10 feet by 10 feet by 10 feet
So 10 X 10 X 10 comes out to 1000, divide this by 1000 the answer comes to 1. So your as tonnage requirement is one ton
Another example room size 12 feet by 12 feet by 9 feet. The multiplication comes out to be 1290. Dividing this by 1000 leads to 1.2. so tonnage requirement is 1.2 ton. If there is direct sunlight in the room and /or the air conditioner is exposed to sun, or you stay on the top floor where roof heats up, go for 1.5 tom AC otherwise go for 1 ton AC as air conditioners are available in 0.75 ton. 1 ton and 2 ton and above capacity only

what is 1 ton ac power consumption
1 ton AC consumes 1000 to 1300 watts o power depending upon the star rating. High end 5 sdtar rated AC’s consume close to 1000 Watts of power where as 1 star rated window / split AC will consume 1300 watts or above
1100 to 1200 watts ,depends on star rating
1 Ton AC consumes around 3.5 KWh, so you can calculate the desired tons consumption.
1 Ton A/C unit Consumed per Hour 1.3Unit
ONE TON AC CONSUME IN ONE HOUR 800WATT
ONE TON AC power consumption 1.4kw/hr
what is 1.5 ton AC power consumption
1.5 ton AC should consume between 1700 watts to 1800 watts. This translates into 1.8 units per hour. If unit rate is Rs 5 it will cost Rs 9 per hour to run the AC.
If you keep the thermostat setting above 24 degrees you will save more electricity as the compressor will switch off more often as you increase the temperature and in the compressor switched off mode the AC will consune only 180 to 250 Watts to run the fan motor only.
A high rated 5 star AC will consume less power and low end 1 star ac will consume more power. But in window AC you will get BEE star rating upto 3 stars only
1.5 ton ac consuption 1800 Watts per hour and 1 ton 1400 Watts per hour
what is the power unit consumption (Rs 5 per unit) of 1.5 ton 5 start LG AC with the thermostat setting 26 degree?
Power consumption depends upon the time the compressor of the AC is on. This depends on various factors like: room size, outdoor temperature, room insulation, no of people in the room and heat producing gadgets in the room like TV and lastly the thermostat settings.
For every degree increase in thermostat setting you save upto 5% energy. 26 degree is a good setting. Always use ceiling fan along with the AC as you feel cooler even at highet temperature settings.
straight answer to your question
The time compressor is on it will consume about 1.7 units an hour that comes to RS 8.50 an hour. When compressor is off and only AC fan is running it will consume about 0.2 units an hour that translates to Rs 1 an hour. If your compressor is on for 50% of the time and you run the AC for 8 hours at night the power conumption will be 7.6 units or Rs 38 per night
What is the power consumption of a 3 star 1.5 ton window ac in comparision to a 5 star 1.5 ton ac.assuming the ac is left on for 8 hrs a day at 26 degree temprature ,what will be the montly bill for the same?
1.5TON AIR CONDITION HOW MUCH WATT CAPACITY
It will be between 1700 to 2000 watts depending upon star ratings
Dear Advisor,
My bedroom is 15*15*10,Since room is on first floor, suggest me I sholud go for window ac or split ac
According to the above calculation minimum tonnage req is 2.0 ton, but it will consume more electricity
so could you suggest me which company’s 1.5 ton ac will efficiently work in my that room?
2 ton ac will consume more power that is OK but it will switch off when the room becomes cooler. The 1.5 ton AC will have to work more hard to do so and it may not switch off and run continously which may damage it. The power consumption will be the same. If you keep the room temperature above 25 degree celcius then only 1.5 tom AC will be beneficial to some extent. 2 Ton ac is suggested as it will switch off when the set temperature is reached
Godrej eon split 1.5 ton ac is enough for good cooling in 15* 15* 10* room i also using.
Y.K- 1.2 Ton is more than sufficent for your room. I suggest you go for 5 star rated a/c. This way you make little more investment upfront, that will however save you electricity bills over the life of your A/c. according to one study, 5 Star rated a/c will save around Rs. 10,000 in 5 yrs. Based on my research Hitachi a/c are the best, in terms of technology and efficency.

Go for 2 ton ac. The five computers wil generate heat so the five people using it. The more the people and heat generating equipment in the room the more the requirement of air conditioner. Do not go go for 1 ton AC as it will not be able to meet your requirements. Minimum 1.5 ton AC is required

How much power does the a 1 ton and 1.5 ton AC consume at the time of start up. I have heard that it takes double the power to start, is it true?
Thanks
Yes it is true that AC takes double the power to Start. So it is advised to switch on the airconditioners one by one if you have more than one AC in your house. Most air conditioners now come with a random timer to switch on to facilitate this.

Panasonic is a very good AC. Air conditioning depends upon many factors like, outdoor temperature, room insulation, number of doors and windows and the like. 1.5 ton AC is suggested for 12*12*9 room.
1ton ac how much kw
1 Ton ac’s consume about 1300 watts which is 1.3 units per hour. if your ac runs for 10 hours a day with compressor running 70% of the total runtime then it would run for 7hrs. Now consider the billing per unit say INR 5.0 then the total cost would be 7*1.3*5 = INR 45.5/day (in energy saver mode). For a month it would be 45.5*30 = INR 1365/month.

Is there any split AC which can cool the atmosphere atleast 10-12 degree centigrade. if it is available then provide me the details of the AC.it would be more grateful if you mail me the details as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing ac unit consumption but i also want to know the confirmation of that if i start 1 ton split it drops 2 to 3 units. is it true
sumeet gupta yes its available but its cost is very high. The name of that ac is chiller. Its use in shopping malls & hospital (central ac), univeristies. it will down your room temprature upto 12 to 15 cen. if you want to more down your room temprature means zero or – centri please shift your room in deep freezeer.
Pls let me know that, Can split a/c capable to pump cool air from a outside space which is 27 or 30 meters away to interior.
It is depending upon the capacity of AC, like more capacity above 5.0 ton is possible for cooling 85 to 95% from its actual capacity its maintain to calculated by chenged the dia of suction & discharge pipe of the connecting unit and some top up of refrigerant gas 35 gram per ton above 35 ft but its opposite under 5.0 tr is not efficient to represent actual cooling cause compressor has not able to pump properly because absent of compressor oil in crankcase during when unit is running all oil moved in copper pipe with refrigerant so compressor head is too hot & system is function abnormal its create very high in summer time so it is first desided to choose the efficient capacity of AC.
