What CFM does a 2 ton system need to operate properly?
For optimum performance, most manufacturers recommend that 400 cfm per ton of air conditioning should be used. For example, a 2-ton system should have 800 cfm of air moving through the evaporator coil.
How many CFM is a 3.5-ton AC?
A 3-ton heat pump has approximately 1200 CFM of air flow. To calculate the filter grill size, divide the airflow, (CFM), by 2. One filter grill or the total area of all grills must equal at least 600 square inches of area to adequately supply the system with the air needed to operate.
What is the CFM of a 5-ton AC unit?
2,000 cfm
A 5-ton system should have have 2,000 cfm, a 6-ton system should have 2,400 cfm, and so on and son.
How many CFM is a 3 ton AC?
1200 CFM
350 to 400 CFM per ton of cooling is required for proper air conditioning system operation. For example, if you are checking a 3 ton system, the airflow required is between 1050 and 1200 CFM.
What is the typical airflow per ton of residential air conditioning equipment?
Manufacturer recommended air flow rates for residential split systems are typically 350 – 450 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per ton (47.0 – 60.5 L/S per kW) of cooling capacity.
How many CFM is a 2.5 ton unit?
400 CFM
For instance a 2.5 ton system (Approximately 400 CFM per ton) would require (2) 14” flexible return ducts or (1) very short flexible 18” duct to move the 1000 CFM required by the 2.5 ton system.
How many CFM does a 4 ton air handler put out?
Commerical systems go much larger. 1 ton of cooling is equal to 400 cubic feet of air per minute. 2 ton of cooling is 800 cfm and so on. So a 4 ton unit will have 1600 cubic feet of air passing through the system every minute.
What size duct do I need for 2000 cfm?
Equivalent diameter for rectangular and circular ducts – air flows between 100 – 50000 cfm
| Air flow – q – (Cubic Feet per Minute, cfm) (m3/s) | Rectangular Duct Sizes (inches) (mm) x (mm) |
|---|---|
| 1700 (0.77) | 10 x 22 14 x 15 |
| 1900 (0.86) | 12 x 19 14 x 16 |
| 2000 (0.9) | 10 x 25 12 x 20 15 x 16 |
| 2500 (1.13) | 14 x 20 15 x 18 |
How many CFM is a 4 ton unit?
How many CFM is needed for one ton of air conditioning?
1 CFM/Sq.Ft. of living space, or 1 x 2000 or a total of 2000 CFM of air flow into the total occupied building space. Now divide the total CFM required by 400 CFM (typical air flow per ton of cooling capacity of an air handler) 2000 CFM required / 400 CFM per ton = 5 tons of cooling capacity. You need 5 tons of air conditioning capacity.
How much air should a two ton blower produce?
The rule of thumb is the blower should produce 440 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air per ton. On a two-ton system that is 880 cfm (cubic feet per minute).
How much CFM do you need for 300 sq ft?
Answer: You need an 80 CFM airflow (for 300 sq ft standard room and 2 ACH). Here’s a neat CFM calculator that calculates CFM based on room area, ceiling height, and the number of air changes per hour (ACH).
Which is better 350 or 350 CFM per ton?
The higher CFM is required to remove the sensible heat from the environment. However, if you have an environment that has high humidity then 350 CFM per ton is better. At the lower CFM the coil is colder and the air spends more time on the coil and increases dehumidification.
