1. What is Inverter Aircon HP per Sqm Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the required horsepower (HP) of an inverter air conditioner based on room area and the unit's Coefficient of Performance (COP).

Purpose: It helps homeowners and HVAC professionals determine the appropriate air conditioner size for efficient cooling.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( HP \) — Required air conditioner horsepower
• \( A_{room} \) — Room area in square meters
• \( COP \) — Coefficient of Performance (typically 4-6 for inverter ACs)

Explanation: The formula converts room area to cooling capacity needs, adjusted by the efficiency of the inverter technology.

3. Importance of Proper Aircon Sizing

Details: Correct HP calculation ensures energy efficiency, proper cooling, and prevents short-cycling or excessive power consumption.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the room area in square meters and the COP (default 5 for typical inverter ACs). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is COP in air conditioners?
A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures efficiency - higher values mean more cooling per unit of energy.

Q2: Why use different COP values?
A: Inverter ACs typically have COP 4-6, while conventional units might be 2-3. Check your unit's specifications.

Q3: How does room size affect HP requirements?
A: Larger rooms need more cooling capacity, but the relationship isn't strictly linear due to other factors.

Q4: What other factors affect aircon sizing?
A: Consider insulation, windows, ceiling height, heat-generating appliances, and climate.

Q5: Should I round up the calculated HP?
A: Yes, round up to the nearest standard unit size (0.5HP, 1HP, 1.5HP, etc.) for practical application.
