Have you read up on the term:

COP = coefficient of performance ?

Sparo, your laizy, google on to Wikipedia and type C.O.P ,coifficient of performance, and you get all the info you want.

2.4m BTU -that's a fair old tonnage!

(Just to confuse things further ;-)

To convert 2400000 btu/hr to kw procedure is

1 btu/hr is equal to 2.928 kw so u convert easily .ok buddy.

^ but that is not the electrical consumption required which was his question.

Just commissioning 2 chillers in Minnesota at 5.5M BTU/hr each. had to convert everything to kW ref load to BTU and C to F time the americans joined the rest of the world and used SI i say.

240,0000 btu/hr = 200 TR

2OO TR DIVIDED BY 0.2845 = 702.98 KW

I use such, however, a very, very rough conversion: 1000 W electrical = 3000 W heat = 9000 Btu (also "heat", of course), simply, a mnemonic: 1-3-9, and vice versa.

This concerning the choice of a comp for an AC. I believe, I have not confused the numbers unforgivably.
