Q

How much heat per hour can a 5 ton refrigeration unit remove from a refrigerated space?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand what one "ton" of refrigeration means in terms of BTU per hour • Recall the historical definition based on melting ice over 24 hours • Convert tons of refrigeration to total BTU/hr using the standard factor

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: how many BTUs are associated with one ton of refrigeration per hour, not per day? • Once you know the BTU/hr for 1 ton, how do you scale that to 5 tons? • Check if the result makes sense compared to common air‑conditioning/refrigeration capacity ratings you may have seen.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using BTU per hour per ton, not BTU per day • Multiply the correct BTU/hr-per-ton figure by 5 for a 5‑ton unit • Verify that your numerical answer closely matches one of the given options without needing to round heavily
