Finding Out Tonnage from Compressor

[3DD]

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to find out the tonnage of the AC from the compressor?

[the dangling wrangler]

Yes, it is. Can you not use the info on the unit itself?

[Tech Rob]

Yes. Take the first two numbers in the model # and divide by 18 while touching your nose with the index finger of your left hand and saying "rubber baby buggy bumpers" as fast as you can.

Then call a qualified service organization.

The label on the unit is no longer there.

Unfortunately, the 2 A/C guys I tried couldn't find out the tonnage.

If the techs don't know they didn't try.If I can't tell I have plenty of phone #'s to different supply houses and dealers.

The BTU capacity of the compressor may or may not give you the nominal tonnage of the unit.

OK, plan "B" would be to look for a model # on the evap coil.JimJ is correct but, you can get real close.

Ok.

If the compressor is 22,500 BTUs. And the evap coil is 30,000 BTUs.

What size A/C is it?

I don't give out that info for free.

[nickellhead]

I think I have it

22,500/ 18= 1250 tons is that right?

LOL...

Dang, I was trying to get something for nothing.
