minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year ago(side note, thank you for the explanation) Ffs USA. YOU’RE ALREADY USING kW, JUST GO FULL METRIC ON POWER. Please I’m begging you. COP = heat moved / power input kW_out / kW_in = dimensionless value An air-conditioner with a COP of 2 moves 2 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electrical power you put in. This hurts so much to find out because the US is already using BTU/hr 🤢. What do you need yet another unit for power for? You’re using W, BTU/hr and ton/day? Like. Why are you doing this? 😭 look what they did to my boy (units)
