Q

If an air conditioning system were rated at 24,000 BTU, what would be the equivalent tonnage of the unit?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between BTU per hour and refrigeration ton • How many BTU/hr equal one ton of refrigeration • Basic division to convert BTU rating to tons

💭 Think About

• What is the standard BTU/hr value that defines one ton of refrigeration capacity? • If you divide 24,000 BTU/hr by that standard value, what number do you get? • Which answer choice is closest to your computed value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using BTU per hour, not just BTU, in the definition of a ton of refrigeration • Confirm the standard conversion (BTU/hr per ton) from a reputable HVAC or engineering reference • After dividing, compare your result directly with the multiple-choice options to find the nearest whole ton value
