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 Volt-Ampere (VA)
Volt-amperes describe apparent power in AC circuits. At unity power factor, VA matches real power in watts; this tool uses that 1:1 mapping for conversion.
How to convert tons of refrigeration (tr) to volt-amperes (va, unity pf)
1 ton of refrigeration (tr) is equal to 3516.85284206666665 volt-ampere (va) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 tr = (3,516.8528420666667 W ÷ 1 W) va = 3516.85284206666665 va
Each ton of refrigeration (tr) is defined as 3,516.8528420666667 W and each volt-ampere (va) as 1 W in this tool, so one tr equals 3,516.8528420666667 ÷ 1 va = 3516.85284206666665 va.
Let d(tr) be the numeric value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr), and d(va) the value in Volt-Ampere (VA) (va). Then:
d(va) = d(tr) × (3,516.8528420666667 / 1)
Equivalently, divide by how many tr fit into one va (watts per va divided by watts per tr):
d(va) = d(tr) ÷ 0.00028434513609
Or: volt-ampere (va) = ton of refrigeration (tr) ÷ 0.00028434513609
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 tr to volt-ampere (va)
1 tr = 1 tr × (3,516.8528420666667/1) va = 3516.85284207 va
1 tr = 1 tr ÷ 0.00028434513609 = 3516.85284207 va
Intermediate watts: 3,516.85284207 W
Example #2: Convert 10 tr to volt-ampere (va)
10 tr = 10 tr × (3,516.8528420666667/1) va = 35168.5284207 va
10 tr = 10 tr ÷ 0.00028434513609 = 35168.5284207 va
Intermediate watts: 35,168.5284207 W
Summary
To convert Ton of Refrigeration (TR) to Volt-Ampere (VA), multiply the value in tr by the ratio of watts per tr divided by watts per va. Equivalently: value_va = value_tr × (3516.8528420666667 / 1). Numerically, 1 tr equals 3516.8528420666667 va.
Relationship context
Both units are apparent power at unity PF (VA). Conversions use fixed watt factors, so results stay consistent with the definitions in this converter. The factor from Ton of Refrigeration (TR) to Volt-Ampere (VA) is 3.516853e+3 (1 tr = 3516.8528420666667 va).
