SI Metric Conversion

Values provided in this manual are in the English inch-pound (I-P) system.
The following factors can be used to convert from English to the most common Sl Metric values.
MEASUREMENT
CAPACITY
POWER
FLOW RATE
LENGTH
WEIGHT
VELOCITY
PRESSURE DROP
TEMPERATURE
To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius
(°C), subtract 32° and multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
To convert a temperature range (i.e., 10°F or 12°F chilled
water range) from Fahrenheit to Celsius, multiply by 5/9
or 0.5556.
EFFICIENCY
In the English l-P system, chiller efficiency is measured
in kW / ton:
kW/ton =
tons refrigeration effect
In the Sl Metric system, chiller efficiency is measured in
Coefficient of Performance (COP).
kW/ton =
kW refrigeration effect
kW / ton and COP are related as follows:
3.516
kW/ton =
COP
3.516
COP =
