The calculation method of the horsepower of an air conditioner is mainly based on its cooling capacity.
1. Definition and calculation method of horsepower:
Horsepower originally refers to the input power of the air conditioner, usually 1 horsepower is equal to 735 watts (or 1 horsepower). However, the horsepower of modern air conditioners is usually estimated based on its cooling capacity. Generally speaking, the cooling capacity of a 1-horsepower air conditioner is about 2500 watts (i.e. 25 models), 1.5-horsepower is about 3500 watts (i.e. 35 models), 2-horsepower is about 5100 watts (i.e. 51 models), and 3-horsepower is about 7200 watts (i.e. 72 models).
2. Conversion formula between horsepower and cooling capacity:
Horsepower can be calculated by cooling capacity. For example, the cooling capacity of 1 horsepower is about 2000 kcal, which is about 2324 watts (2000 kcal × 1.162) when converted to watts. Similarly, the cooling capacity of 1.5 horsepower is 3486 watts, 2 horsepower is 4648 watts, and so on.
3. The relationship between air conditioner capacity and room area:
When choosing an air conditioner, you need to match the appropriate capacity according to the area of the room. Generally speaking, a 1-horsepower air conditioner is suitable for a room of 10-15 square meters, 1.5-horsepower is suitable for a room of 15-25 square meters, 2-horsepower is suitable for a room of 25-35 square meters, and 3-horsepower is suitable for a room of 35-50 square meters. When choosing, you also need to consider factors such as the room's orientation, thermal insulation performance, and floor height.
With the above information, you can choose the appropriate air conditioner capacity according to the room area and the required cooling capacity to ensure the use effect and energy efficiency of the air conditioner.
