How do you calculate horsepower in air condition compressor?

To calculate the horsepower (HP) of an air conditioner compressor, you can use the following formula:

HP = (BTU/h) / 2544.497

where:

- HP is the horsepower of the compressor

- BTU/h is the cooling capacity of the air conditioner in British thermal units per hour (BTU/h)

Here's an example calculation:

Let's say you have an air conditioner with a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTU/h. To calculate the horsepower of the compressor, you would plug this value into the formula:

HP = (12,000 BTU/h) / 2544.497

HP = 4.72

Therefore, the horsepower of the compressor in this air conditioner is 4.72 HP.
