Choosing the Right Size for Your Air Conditioner: Capacity Calculation Guide

Choosing the Right Cooling Capacity for Your r-Conditioner

r-conditioners are designed to not only regulate r temperature but also manage humidity levels. Selecting the proper cooling capacity for your r-conditioner is crucial for optimal comfort and energy efficiency.

An oversized r-conditioning system can be expensive, leading to higher operating costs. It might also fl to properly dehumidify spaces because it cools too rapidly before moisture levels drop sufficiently. Alternatively, an undersized r-conditioning system will struggle with providing sufficient cooling and humidity control.

To ensure your r conditioning system is correctly sized, follow this guideline:

Required cooling capacity in kW = Total floor area of the room m2 รท 5

Multiply the cooling capacity figure in kW by 3,412 to convert it into Btuhr

Keep in mind:

An enlarged r-conditioner may be necessary for rooms that include:

Double-height ceilings

Windows with a large surface area e.g., full-height glass panes

Windows facing east or west direction

Additional heat sources like refrigerators

The total cooling capacity of multi-split r-conditioners is typically the combined cooling capacities of their individual room units. However, a lower total cooling capacity might suffice if not all room units are used simultaneously.

For more comprehensive assistance with determining your required cooling capacity, consult your r-conditioner supplier.

We ext our gratitude to Carrier, Dkin, LG, Mitsubishi Electric, and Panasonic for their input in developing this guide on r-con sizing standards.
