About Gigawatt
One gigawatt is one billion watts. Utility generation capacity and grid planning commonly use GW.
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 gigawatts to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 gigawatt is equal to 284345.13609399518464 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 gw = (1,000,000,000 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 284345.13609399518464 tr
Each gigawatt is defined as 1,000,000,000 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one gw equals 1,000,000,000 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 284345.13609399518464 tr.
Let d(gw) be the numeric value in Gigawatt (gw), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(gw) × (1,000,000,000 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many gw fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per gw):
d(tr) = d(gw) ÷ 0.00000351685284
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = gigawatt ÷ 0.00000351685284
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 gw to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 gw = 1 gw × (1,000,000,000/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 284345.136094 tr
1 gw = 1 gw ÷ 0.00000351685284 = 284345.136094 tr
Intermediate watts: 1,000,000,000 W
Example #2: Convert 10 gw to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 gw = 10 gw × (1,000,000,000/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 2843451.36094 tr
10 gw = 10 gw ÷ 0.00000351685284 = 2843451.36094 tr
Intermediate watts: 10,000,000,000 W
Summary
To convert Gigawatt to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in gw by the ratio of watts per gw divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_gw × (1000000000 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 gw equals 284345.1360939952 tr.
Relationship context
You are converting between SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Gigawatts) and apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Tons of Refrigeration (TR)). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 2.843451e+5.
