- [COP Calculator (Coefficient of Performance, COP = Q_c / W)](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/cop-calculator): Compute the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of a chiller / heat pump: COP = Q_c / W, where Q_c is the cooling capacity and W the work input (both in consistent power units; COP is dimensionless). Three modes: solve COP (given Q_c and W), solve cooling capacity (given COP and W), or solve input power (given COP and Q_c). Capacity in W/kW/BTU·h⁻¹/ton/kcal·h⁻¹, power in W/kW/hp; all converted to W internally.
