- quickthrowman 9mo ago> It's the SI unit, what else do you want to use lol? HVAC companies in the US exclusively use ‘tons’ to describe the amount of heat a chiller or heat pump can move. Trane, Daikin, and more all use ‘tons’ on both their marketing and engineering material. 1 ton ~= 3.56kW, but a 1-ton chiller will use ~= 1kW of electricity to remove 3.56kW of heat due to the COP of 3-4 for an air cooled chiller.

- thatguy27 9mo agoThat's really not appropriate for the topic at hand. And what happens when the technology improves and the 1 kW ~= 3.65 kW relation changes?
- lm28469 9mo agoThe COP isn't constant either. I can drop to 1:1 or even lower if you need to run the anti frost resistance Good marketing gimmick though
