Formula
kW per ton = input power ÷ evaporator load.
Assumptions
Input power is actual measured chiller power. Evaporator load is calculated from measured flow and water temperature difference, or another verified load source.
Warnings
Do not use design tons unless you are only doing a rough comparison. Mixed operating conditions can make the result misleading.
