Question: how many cfm is a 5 ton unit?
Answer: In our opening statement we quoted a rule-of-thumb about air conditioning requiring 400 CFM per ton. This value is usually the basis for rating self-contained air conditioners. Thus, we have a 2-ton unit handling 800 CFM, a 3-ton 1,200, a 5-ton 2,000, a 10-ton 4,000, etc.
