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.
About Megawatt
One megawatt is one million watts. Utility generation, large drives, and grid studies use MW.
How to convert tons of refrigeration (tr) to megawatts
1 ton of refrigeration (tr) is equal to 0.00351685284207 megawatt when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 tr = (3,516.8528420666667 W ÷ 1,000,000 W) megaw = 0.00351685284207 megaw
Each ton of refrigeration (tr) is defined as 3,516.8528420666667 W and each megawatt as 1,000,000 W in this tool, so one tr equals 3,516.8528420666667 ÷ 1,000,000 megaw = 0.00351685284207 megaw.
Let d(tr) be the numeric value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr), and d(megaw) the value in Megawatt (megaw). Then:
d(megaw) = d(tr) × (3,516.8528420666667 / 1,000,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many tr fit into one megaw (watts per megaw divided by watts per tr):
d(megaw) = d(tr) ÷ 284.34513609399517
Or: megawatt = ton of refrigeration (tr) ÷ 284.34513609399517
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 tr to megawatt
1 tr = 1 tr × (3,516.8528420666667/1,000,000) megaw = 0.0035168528 megaw
1 tr = 1 tr ÷ 284.34513609399517 = 0.0035168528 megaw
Intermediate watts: 3,516.85284207 W
Example #2: Convert 10 tr to megawatt
10 tr = 10 tr × (3,516.8528420666667/1,000,000) megaw = 0.0351685284 megaw
10 tr = 10 tr ÷ 284.34513609399517 = 0.0351685284 megaw
Intermediate watts: 35,168.5284207 W
Summary
To convert Ton of Refrigeration (TR) to Megawatt, multiply the value in tr by the ratio of watts per tr divided by watts per megaw. Equivalently: value_megaw = value_tr × (3516.8528420666667 / 1000000). Numerically, 1 tr equals 0.003516852842066667 megaw.
Relationship context
You are converting between apparent power at unity PF (VA) (Tons of Refrigeration (TR)) and SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Megawatts). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 3.516853e-3.
