The horsepower per ton of a unit is .60. If the horsepower increases by 20% while the refrigeration effect decreases by 10%, what would the horsepower per ton be?

Maybe
I'm not a math whiz. I get .792 H.P. per Ton (12000 btuh). I would not
trust this number with out corroboration.There was an error rendering this rich post.

You are correct Bob
12,000 BTU/hr = 2000 BTU/HR = 7.85 HP/TON x .10 = .785 or .8
.60 HP/TON 2,545 BTU/HR/HP
1TON = 12,000 BTU/HR
1 HP = 2,545 BTU/HR
This is how I figured it out but I wanted to see if someone else would get a similar answer. Thanks!0
