How to Calculate Air Conditioning Needs


When you want to buy air conditioner make sure beforehand how large the room is going to use the AC because if it is not within the capacity of the AC then the room will be a long time to reach the desired temperature.
How to calculate the need for air conditioning in the room
This method is very simple in calculating the need for air conditioning in the room:
Her basic formula of floor surface area (W x L) multiplied by 500 (standard room heat load) in the 9000 btu / h
extensive example of my room (3 x 2.5) x 500/9000 = 0.416 so that I need is AC 0.5 PK (converted into PK) or equal to 5000 BTU (stamped on the name plate of indoor air-conditioning)
AC ½ PK = 5000 BTU
AC ¾ PK = 7000 BTU
AC 1 PK = 9000 BTU
1½PK = 12000 BTU air conditioner
AC 2 PK = 18000 BTU
and so its

There is another more detailed calculations and more complicated because the calculated again based on heat load walls, ceilings, occupants, electrical appliance / electronics and other things that can generate heat in the room. This way is very easy to use in order to determine how much capacity we would need air conditioning in the room.
