yes, but you will overwork your compresser and you will have to change your txv
Kwh per ton
That depends on 1) what indoor coil you have, 2) is the ductwork adequate to support 4 tons and 3) if the indoor coil and ductwork are suitable does the blower have the capacity to support 4 tons or 1600 cfm? If so it must be sped up.
1 ton = 2,000 pounds 12,000 pounds / 1 ton = 12,000 pounds/2,000 pounds = 6 tons
A ton of anything weighs the same as a ton of anything else.
A ton of rocks weighs more. Since they both weigh a ton, then they weigh the same.
not very well. a 4 ton system needs about 1600 cfm to provide it's full capacity of cooling. a 3 ton furnace puts out about 1200 cfm. in addition, the evap coil typically attached to the furnace needs to match the tonnage of the outdoor unit. so, the evap coil must be 4 tons. If you currently have a 3 ton furnace and evap coil, the system will not work, and you will most likely ruin the compressor in the outdoor unit.
You may be able to turn up the blower speed but you will probably still not get the appropriate cfm. You may be able to swap out the blower but you may run into problems with fitting the new one in place or the proper sizing of the return and supply duct work.
Yes it will. Typically a coil is sized a 1/2 ton larger than the a/c out side for efficiency, but a whole ton bigger should still work

Usually a 3 ton - 70,000btu furnace.
The rating is technically a minimum. You could use a larger coil and have it work. But if its a Evaporator coil it will need to be matched on the far end with a similar or larger condenser coil. If the Condenser coil is larger it will probably just take a little more refrigerant.
No easy answer with the information given. You might be able to increase the blower speed but that probable wont get you enough air anyways. You might be able change the blower depending on your furnace. Depending on the evaporator coil 3 or 5 ton you either wont remove the proper amount of moisture from the air(the biggest part of what makes you feel cool) or there will not be enough air blowing over the coil and it will freeze up. Technically could put a freeze switch to turn of the condenser. Most likely you will wear out the condenser quicker then it should.
Maybe. The coil is not matched to a 2 or 3 ton truck It is matched to the engine and igniton control system. So it may be the same part #.
I'm not an air conditioning expert, but I would expect that the compressor will run a lot more than it needs to. A 2 ton coil will not cool as much air as a larger capacity 3 ton coil. Experts?
Between $490-765. That's a range for a 2 ton to 5 ton residential a/c coil cleaning.
It could have any size heating furnace, the two are unrelated except for the size blower used in the furnace to support the 3 ton cooling system. But the fact remains you can get a 3 ton blower in 50,000 btu furnace, a 100,00 btu furnace and anything in between.
There are 1,188 liters of crude oil per metric ton
