your going to get 800 cfm through a 20x20. Its the gross square inches divided by 2
There are 400 cfm in 1 ton
Air return duct and filter grille size is dictated by the size of the unit (CFM) not the size of the house.
1600 cfm
You need 350 to 400 cfm per ton (12,000 btu) of cooling. So, divide your cfm by 400. For example, a 1200 cfm blower on an air handler could handler up to 3 tons. All calculations depend on your duct being the proper size for the equipment.
The relationship between cubic feet per minute or cfm and cubic meter per hour or cmh is that there are approximately 0.59 cfm in 1 cmh. Similarly, 1 cfm is equal to approximately 1.7 cmh.

The size of the return air grill depends on the size of the forced air fan. The return air grid to reduce noise should be 5 to 8 times the size of the fan outlet. A 36000 btu heating system often has between a 500 to 1500 CFM fan the outlets on these fans are often between 30 and 80 square inches so the grid should be between 150 and 600 square inches (depending on the fan), the bigger you can fit the better. If you can fit it I'd put in a 12 x36 grill (432 sq in) but a 12 x 24" (288 sq inch)grill should work well too.
return grille size times 2 gives u the amount of cfms u are getting out of the return air grille, i.e. 10x10x2=200cfms...
Return air vents in each room (none in bath or restrooms) sized for the amount of cfm needed for that specific room are best but if this is not possible then pick a central location and return vent should be sized for total cfm required of house.

1 ton A/C have 400 CFM
The best rule of thumb I have found is: Length X Width / 144 * 288 = Max. CFM I have used this formula to size many HVAC systems. It has always worked. For example, a 5 ton unit should have a 30x36 grille(2-18X30 filters). (30x36)/144*288=2160 max cfm. Return Air should be sized at 200 square inches per ton according to AirMate and other filter grille manufacturers to achieve 2.0 static pressure. The Return Air Duct should have an unobstructed 6 square inches per 1000 BTU of cooling.
~ 1000 cfm
2000 cfm. 400 a ton.
cfm is less than cmh by by 40% (approximately)
400 cfm per a 1 ton. If you are talking about air condition 400 cfm per a 1 ton. If you are talking about air condition12000 BTU in 1 ton300 - 350 CFM in 1 ton depends on mfg.Cfm and Tonnage of Refrigerent is are different units, then how these two units can be compared?cfm of what? feathers? lead?
