Finding Out Tonnage from Compressor
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to find out the tonnage of the AC from the compressor?
-
Yes, it is. Can you not use the info on the unit itself?
-
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.

I think I have it
22,500/ 18= 1250 tons is that right?
Knowledge comes with experience

Dang, I was trying to get something for nothing.
