One ton of refrigeration is equal to?

Answer 1

one ton of refrigeration is equal to 12,000BTU/hour or 3,000 Kilo Calories/hour.
the amount of heat absorbed by 1 ton of ice melting over a 24 hour period, so 288,000 btu/24 hours or 12,000btu/hr

Answer 2

One ton of refrigeration is equal to the cooling effect produced by the melting of one ton of ice in 24 hours. It is a unit of power representing the cooling capacity needed to freeze a short ton of water at 32°F in a 24-hour period.

Answer 3

One ton of capacity equals 12,000 Btu/h
(also one Btu/h is equal to 0.293 watts so...One ton = 3.516 Kilowatts)

That is assuming the information is accurate, I do not have another reference to verify this with.

The website is:

That would be something good for the ole to-do list, it would be nice to have that conversion up. With luck I can find a .gov or .mil site to double check the accuracy.

Answer 4

I think is it 3.18 tons of ref is it correct?

Answer 5

One tonnage of refrigeration or 1 TR equals to 4.7 hp

Answer 6

1 HP= 0.823 TR 15HP= 15*0.823 TR =12.345 TR
