cooling capacity

**Cooling Capacity** refers to the total amount of heat a cooling system, such as an air conditioner or refrigeration unit, can remove from a space within a specific period. It is typically measured in British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour or in tons, where one ton equals 12,000 BTU/hr. Understanding cooling capacity is essential for selecting the right HVAC equipment to ensure efficient temperature control and energy use in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.
