This calculator will help you convert Celsius temperatures to their equivalent in Fahrenheit instantly.
How to Use the CoP to EER Calculator
This calculator helps you convert the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of an air conditioning unit to its Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). Just follow these steps:
- Enter the COP value of your air conditioning unit in the “COP” field.
- Enter the energy input in kilowatt-hours (kWh) in the “Energy Input” field.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to view the result.
How It Calculates the Results
The conversion from COP to EER is straightforward. The formula used is:
EER = COP * 3.412
This is based on the fact that 1 COP equals 3.412 EER. After calculating the EER, the calculator multiplies it by the energy input to provide the total cooling output in BTUs.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the values entered are within a reasonable range. Incorrect input values (e.g., negative numbers or non-numeric values) will not produce meaningful results. Ensure that the values you enter are correct and represent real-world conditions.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate COP from EER Rating
Convert the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) rating of your air conditioner to its Coefficient of Performance (COP) value. Enter the EER rating, press calculate, and instantly get the COP value. Use this feature to understand your AC’s heating/cooling efficiency better.
