About Metric Horsepower (CV)
CV (cheval-vapeur) is a metric horsepower unit equivalent to 735.49875 W, commonly used in European market specs.
About Ton of Refrigeration (TR)
One ton of refrigeration (TR) equals 12,000 BTU/h (IT), approximately 3,516.85 W. It is widely used in HVAC and refrigeration sizing.
How to convert metric horsepower (cv) to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 metric horsepower (cv) is equal to 0.20913549216571 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 cv = (735.49875 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 0.20913549216571 tr
Each metric horsepower (cv) is defined as 735.49875 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one cv equals 735.49875 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 0.20913549216571 tr.
Let d(cv) be the numeric value in Metric Horsepower (CV) (cv), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(cv) × (735.49875 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many cv fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per cv):
d(tr) = d(cv) ÷ 4.78158914895051
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = metric horsepower (cv) ÷ 4.78158914895051
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 cv to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 cv = 1 cv × (735.49875/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.2091354922 tr
1 cv = 1 cv ÷ 4.78158914895051 = 0.2091354922 tr
Intermediate watts: 735.49875 W
Example #2: Convert 10 cv to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 cv = 10 cv × (735.49875/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 2.0913549217 tr
10 cv = 10 cv ÷ 4.78158914895051 = 2.0913549217 tr
Intermediate watts: 7,354.9875 W
Summary
To convert Metric Horsepower (CV) to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in cv by the ratio of watts per cv divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_cv × (735.49875 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 cv equals 0.2091354921657133 tr.
Relationship context
You are converting between mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Metric Horsepower (CV)) and apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Tons of Refrigeration (TR)). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 2.091355e-1.
