1. What is an Aircon HP Calculator for Room Size?

Definition: This calculator estimates the required air conditioning horsepower based on room area and the unit's coefficient of performance.

Purpose: It helps homeowners and HVAC professionals determine the appropriate air conditioner size for a given space.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ HP = \frac{A_{room} \times 139}{2545 \times COP} \]

Where:

\( HP \) — Required horsepower
\( A_{room} \) — Room area in square feet
\( COP \) — Coefficient of Performance (efficiency factor)

Explanation: The formula converts room area to cooling capacity needs, then adjusts for the air conditioner's efficiency.

3. Importance of Proper Aircon Sizing

Details: Correct sizing ensures energy efficiency, proper cooling, and prevents short cycling or insufficient cooling.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the room area in square feet and COP (default 3.5 for standard units). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is COP?
A: Coefficient of Performance measures cooling efficiency. Higher COP means more efficient units (typically 3-5 for modern ACs).

Q2: How do I measure room area?
A: Multiply room length by width in feet. Include all connected spaces that need cooling.

Q3: What if my room has high ceilings?
A: For ceilings over 8 feet, increase the area by 10% per additional foot of height.

Q4: Should I round up the HP result?
A: Yes, air conditioners come in standard sizes (0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2 HP etc.). Round up to the nearest available size.

Q5: What about room insulation and windows?
A: For poor insulation or many windows, consider adding 10-20% to the calculated HP.
