About Megawatt
One megawatt is one million watts. Utility generation, large drives, and grid studies use MW.
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 megawatts to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 megawatt is equal to 284.34513609399517 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 megaw = (1,000,000 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 284.34513609399517 tr
Each megawatt is defined as 1,000,000 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one megaw equals 1,000,000 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 284.34513609399517 tr.
Let d(megaw) be the numeric value in Megawatt (megaw), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(megaw) × (1,000,000 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many megaw fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per megaw):
d(tr) = d(megaw) ÷ 0.00351685284207
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = megawatt ÷ 0.00351685284207
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 megaw to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 megaw = 1 megaw × (1,000,000/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 284.345136094 tr
1 megaw = 1 megaw ÷ 0.00351685284207 = 284.345136094 tr
Intermediate watts: 1,000,000 W
Example #2: Convert 10 megaw to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 megaw = 10 megaw × (1,000,000/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 2843.45136094 tr
10 megaw = 10 megaw ÷ 0.00351685284207 = 2843.45136094 tr
Intermediate watts: 10,000,000 W
Summary
To convert Megawatt to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in megaw by the ratio of watts per megaw divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_megaw × (1000000 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 megaw equals 284.34513609399517 tr.
Relationship context
You are converting between SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Megawatts) 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+2.
