The term "ton" is often used to refer to ton of refrigeration (TR) in the context of cooling or air conditioning, not power (which is measured in watts). A ton of refrigeration represents the amount of heat needed to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice in 24 hours.
1 ton of refrigeration (TR) is equal to 3.517 kilowatts (kW).
So, to convert tons of refrigeration to watts, you can use this conversion:
If you’re referring to something else with "ton," like a unit of weight, then the conversion to watts wouldn't apply directly.
1 ton of refrigeration (TR) is equal to 3.517 kilowatts (kW).
So, to convert tons of refrigeration to watts, you can use this conversion:
- 1 TR = 3.517 kW = 3517 watts.
If you’re referring to something else with "ton," like a unit of weight, then the conversion to watts wouldn't apply directly.
