'Ton' in AC doesn't refer to weight: Here's what it means

Summer season has arrived and to get relief from it, ACs have also started running along with coolers. In the months of March-April, coolers and fans would have worked but when it is hot in May-June, only AC is useful. May is still a few days away but the mercury has started reaching 40 degrees since April. This is the reason why air conditioners have started running from office to home. Whenever there is talk of AC, it is often asked that how many tons of AC is installed in your house or how many tons of AC are you buying? Have you ever thought that AC is very light in weight, then what is the role of ton in it? If you do not know, then let us tell you that 1 ton contains 1000 kg. Whereas the split or window AC used in our house weighs less than 50 kg. Despite being so light in weight, the word ton is used in both split and window ACs. If you are planning to buy a new AC and you do not know the meaning of ton, then it is possible that you buy the wrong AC.
