It Depends on the model not the HP
HP (horse power) is the speed of the motor
the size of the appliance in question (is it a portable or a fixed unit), its output (how much air it throws out) and HP all combined together determine its BTU.
For example, upgrading a 1HP motor to a 6 HP motor in a tiny desktop AC is not going to change it's BTU, it will just waste energy and probably start a fire!

Assuming you are referring to air conditioning, and not a ton of coal or a ton of plutonium, then 1 ton of air conditioning equivalent = 12 000 BTU.
Assuming you are referring to air conditioning, and not a ton of coal or a ton of plutonium, then 1 ton of air conditioning equivalent = 12 000 BTU.
One ton of air conditioning capacity is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. A 3-ton air conditioning unit therefore has a cooling capacity of 36,000 BTU per hour.
The Carrier 24ABB330A310 is a 2.5-ton air conditioning unit.
1 hp=12K BTU
The size of the unit in btu does not affect the system efficiency. The way a unit is built and matched to an evaporator determines its' maximum efficiency. An oversized unit affects the comfort level in the home because it will not have a long enough run cycle to adequately remove humidity.
There are 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) in a ton of refrigeration (1 ton of refrigeration = 12,000 BTU/h). This measure is commonly used in the refrigeration industry to quantify the cooling capacity of a system.
Although the size of the unit may vary, the BTU output of will determine whether or not it will be appropriate for your home. Once you establish how many BTU's are necessary, you can then narrow down your selection by economical benefit.
A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of measurement used to quantify energy. When referring to air conditioning systems, the cooling capacity is often measured in Btu per hour, with one ton of cooling equivalent to 12,000 Btu per hour.
The US uses BTU per hour. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit
20hp is 50,889 Btu
