Il convient de ne jamais confondre le terme anglo-américain de «Capacity» (applicable couramment dans ces pays pour désigner soit la puissance calorifique - «heating capacity», soit la puissance frigorifique - «cooling capacity», soit, enfin, la puissance de tout matériel frigorifique ou de conditionnement d'air, en général - «Unit capacity») avec le terme équivalent français capacité qui n'a rien de commun avec la notion physique de puissance (c'est-à-dire, travail fourni pendant l'unité de temps, dans le cas d'une machine, par exemple). 2, record 1, French, - puissance%20frigorifique
