2. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_energy_efficiency...

   Air-conditioner sizes are often given as "tons" of cooling, where 1 ton of cooling equals 12,000 BTU/h (3.5 kW). 1 ton of cooling equals the amount of power that needs to be applied continuously over a 24-hour period to melt 1 ton of ice. The annual cost of electric energy consumed by an air conditioner may be calculated as follows:

3. Compressor - Wikipedia

   [1] [21] [22] Their application can be from 100 horsepower (75 kW) to thousands of horsepower. With multiple staging, they can achieve high output pressures greater than 1,000 psi (6.9 MPa). This type of compressor, along with screw compressors, are extensively used in large refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

4. Ton of refrigeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_of_refrigeration

   Just as horsepower and candlepower were intuitive units of measure for people living through the transition from horse to steam power [3] and from flame-based to electric lighting, so was the ton of refrigeration an intuitive unit of measure during a technological change, as the ice trade gradually included growing percentages of artificial ice ...

5. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   An air conditioner designed for an occupied space will typically achieve a 30% to 60% relative humidity in the occupied space. [51] Most modern air-conditioning systems feature a dehumidification cycle during which the compressor runs. At the same time, the fan is slowed to reduce the evaporator temperature and condense more water.

6. Vapor-compression refrigeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression...

   Common residential air conditioning units range in capacity from 3.5 to 18 kilowatt. In a few countries it is measured in "tons of refrigeration", with common residential air conditioning units from about 1 to 5 tons of refrigeration.

7. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

   The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
