Btu per hour and tons of refrigeration

US air conditioners and furnaces are rated in Btu per hour: a window unit is 5,000–12,000 Btu/h, a central system 24,000–60,000. Larger plant is rated in tons of refrigeration, the cooling that melting a short ton of ice in 24 hours provides: 12,000 Btu/h or 3.517 kW. A 'three-ton' air conditioner therefore removes 10.5 kW of heat, while drawing perhaps 3.5 kW of electricity.
