The refrigeration capacity of an air conditioner is mainly achieved by the work of the compressor. The horsepower of an air conditioner is related to its cooling capacity, which is how many watts of heat energy an air conditioner can cool per hour.
In the air-conditioning industry, the standard cooling capacity of a 1 hp air conditioner is approximately 12,000 btu h (British thermal unit hour), which is equivalent to 3,500 watts. In fact, the power consumption of an air conditioner includes the electricity consumed by cooling and other additional functions, and is not exactly equal to the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.
To more accurately determine the actual power and power consumption of an air conditioner, many factors need to be considered, including the model, brand, and efficiency of the air conditioner. At the same time, the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of an air conditioner is also an important indicator to evaluate the energy efficiency of an air conditioner, which indicates the cooling capacity per unit of electricity consumption. The higher the energy efficiency ratio, the less electricity the air conditioner consumes while providing the same cooling effect.
Therefore, when choosing an air conditioner, in addition to the number of horses, you should also pay attention to check the rated power and energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioner, so as to better understand its actual cooling effect and energy consumption. In addition, it is also necessary to consider factors such as the size of the room and the climatic conditions of the location to ensure that you choose the right air conditioner product.
All in all, the cooling capacity of a 1 HP air conditioner is about 735 watts to 800 watts, but the actual power and power consumption of the air conditioner also need to consider other factors, such as model, brand, energy efficiency ratio, etc.
