    Your question leaves to many variables to give an answer. Also a 2 ton unit seems awful small to be "industrial", I installed a 2.5 ton unit in a small home today.

    How much copper would depend on the make and model of said unit. For example is it a Trane? For if it is the coil is not copper/ aluminum it would be aluminum tubing in aluminum fins! What kind of compressor is in the unit? A Copeland compressor would be great but some other brands will be wound with aluminum. What kind of coil is in the air handler? A slant coil, or a A coil, or an older W coil, each one would effect the weight! I could go on all night with examples one way or the other!

    Till you gain experience one must live and learn.
