Panasonic Aircon Tonnage Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Panasonic aircon tonnage calculation helps determine the appropriate cooling capacity needed for a room based on its area. Proper sizing ensures efficient cooling, energy savings, and optimal performance of your air conditioning system.
The calculator uses the Panasonic tonnage formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula provides a basic guideline for estimating the cooling capacity needed, with 1 ton of cooling capacity typically covering approximately 100 square feet of space.
Details: Correct aircon sizing is crucial for energy efficiency, comfort, and system longevity. An undersized unit will struggle to cool the space, while an oversized unit will cycle on/off frequently, wasting energy and not properly dehumidifying the air.
Tips: Enter the total room area in square feet. Measure the length and width of the room and multiply them to get the area. Consider additional factors like ceiling height, insulation, window size, and room orientation for more precise sizing.
Q1: What is a "ton" in air conditioning?
A: One ton of cooling equals 12,000 BTU per hour, which is the amount of heat needed to melt one ton of ice in 24 hours.
Q2: Is this calculation accurate for all room types?
A: This is a basic guideline. Rooms with high ceilings, large windows, poor insulation, or significant heat sources may require additional capacity.
Q3: What other factors affect aircon sizing?
A: Consider room orientation (south-facing rooms get more sun), number of occupants, electronic equipment, insulation quality, and local climate conditions.
Q4: Can I use this for commercial spaces?
A: This calculator is designed for residential rooms. Commercial spaces with higher occupancy and equipment loads require more detailed calculations.
Q5: What if my calculated tonnage isn't a standard size?
A: Air conditioners come in standard sizes (1 ton, 1.5 tons, 2 tons, etc.). Always round up to the nearest available size for adequate cooling capacity.
