Very few people can answer this question. Many people think that this measures the gas present in the AC. but it’s not like that. In relation to an air conditioner, ton means the amount of heat it can throw out of a room. How much heat an AC can remove from a room in an hour is expressed in tons.
12000 BTU is called 1 ton. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. It is a unit to measure the cooling capacity of AC. 1 ton AC is 12000 BTU. A 1.5 ton AC is 18000 BTU. At the same time, a 2 ton AC is of 24000 BTU. If the room is small then one ton AC is sufficient.

Which factors affect coldness?
The higher the tonnage of the AC, the cooler the room will be. However, the size of the room, insulation, ceiling height and window size are factors that can affect the cooling capacity of the AC. You can consult a professional for the right tonnage of AC.
How does AC work?
The AC first draws the hot air from the room inside. After this, the cooling coils remove heat and humidity using refrigerant. The blower installed in the AC rotates the air over the evaporator so that it cools down. Now the hot coil mixes the collected heat with the outside air. The compressor then moves between the evaporator and condenser to cool the indoor air. After this, a fan runs over the condenser so that the heat gradually dissipates. After this the filters remove small particles in the air. Finally the thermostat checks how much cold air to throw out.
