About Milliwatt
One milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt. Common in RF, fiber optics, and low-power electronics.
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 milliwatts to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 milliwatt is equal to 2.84345136e-7 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 mw = (0.001 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 2.84345136e-7 tr
Each milliwatt is defined as 0.001 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one mw equals 0.001 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 2.84345136e-7 tr.
Let d(mw) be the numeric value in Milliwatt (mw), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(mw) × (0.001 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many mw fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per mw):
d(tr) = d(mw) ÷ 3516852.84206666657701
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = milliwatt ÷ 3516852.84206666657701
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mw to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 mw = 1 mw × (0.001/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.0000002843 tr
1 mw = 1 mw ÷ 3516852.84206666657701 = 0.0000002843 tr
Intermediate watts: 0.001 W
Example #2: Convert 10 mw to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 mw = 10 mw × (0.001/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.0000028435 tr
10 mw = 10 mw ÷ 3516852.84206666657701 = 0.0000028435 tr
Intermediate watts: 0.01 W
Summary
To convert Milliwatt to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in mw by the ratio of watts per mw divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_mw × (0.001 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 mw equals 2.8434513609399515e-7 tr.
Relationship context
You are converting between SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Milliwatts) 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-7.
