Capacity of an air conditioner is expressed in tonne. Do you know why? |
|
Answer» Before refrigerator and AC were invented, cooling was done by using blocks of ice. When cooling machines were invented, their capacity was expressed in terms of the equivalent amount of ice melted in a day (24 hours). The same term is used even today. (Note : 1 tonne = 1000 kg = 2204.6 pounds, 1 ton (British) = 2240 pounds = 1016.046909 kg, 1 ton (US) = 2000 pounds = 907.184 kg.] |
