Well, an 80,000 BTU air conditioner that only draws about 7 amps of 115 VAC
and weighs about 60 pounds..... I'd like one, too! We can sell them on Ebay!

Add 80000 BTU/hr for that.

It appears an extra zero may have been added.

But if you walk on a flat sidewalk long enough you will have hot dogs.

You can be sure (even if it's not Westinghouse). :-)

1 ton = 2000 lb in the U.S.
Heat of fusion of water at the triple point is 144 BTU / lb
Therefore, 1 ton of ice melt yeilds 144 x 2000 = 288000 BTU.
Divide that by 24, the number of hours in a day, and you have 12,000.

Interesting. I'll have to remember that; thank you. :-)

(Even if it is in non-metric units. :-) ;-) :-) )

Followups.
