What size air conditioner do you need?

Here's how to get the right size for your room

  1. Work out the volume of the room in m3 (width x height x depth) and multiply by 40. This gives you the value for the room in watts.
  2. For each seated person in the room, add another 150 watts.
  3. For every average-sized photocopier or PC add 200 watts, and for fax machines add 150 watts.
  4. You now have the total requirements for the room, in watts. To work out the Kw, divide by 1000 (e.g. 2050 watts = 2.05 Kw).
  5. South facing windows add 20% to the cooling requirements.
  6. Now you know what size machine you need, check out the details in our product listing and give us a call to arrange a hire.

Example

For room size: 4 x 2.5 x 6ms = 60 cu. ms
Convert to watts x 40 = 2400
No. of persons x 1 = 150
No. of PCs etc. x 1 = 200
Total = 2750 watts
South facing windows = 0
Divide by 1000 = 2.75 Kw of cooling required
Model PAC10 (Code HA11) = 2.9 Kw is suitable
