A 3-horsepower air conditioner is about 2000W. If it is cooling all the time, it will consume about 2 degrees of electricity an hour; if it is cooling intermittently, it will consume about 1.5 degrees of electricity.
Power consumption mainly depends on the power of the compressor:
Compressor power = cooling capacity/energy consumption ratio. Generally, the energy consumption ratio of air conditioners is greater than 3, so 1 horsepower The general electric power data is 735W. The power consumption of 1.5 horses is 735* 1.5, which is about 1100 watts, which is about 1.1 kilowatt hours of electricity per hour. In addition to the compressor, there are also fans or other motors that consume power. The total is only 1 hour. Just about 1.2 degrees. The simplest way is to see how many kilowatts the input power is on the manual, which is the power consumption for 1 hour.
However, the output power representing the cooling capacity is not a direct comparison parameter of the power consumption. For example, it is not that an ordinary 1-horse air conditioner with a cooling capacity of 2500W requires 2.5 degrees of power to work continuously for one hour. In fact, it consumes 2500W. An ordinary air conditioner consumes about 0.9 degrees of electricity when working continuously for one hour, while energy-saving air conditioners can even reduce it to 0.4 degrees. This is because the output power of the air conditioner is generally 2.6-2.9 times the input power, and the input power is the deciding factor. direct factor in power consumption.
