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.
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 volt-amperes (va, unity pf) to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 volt-ampere (va) is equal to 0.00028434513609 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 va = (1 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 0.00028434513609 tr
Each volt-ampere (va) is defined as 1 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one va equals 1 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 0.00028434513609 tr.
Let d(va) be the numeric value in Volt-Ampere (VA) (va), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(va) × (1 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many va fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per va):
d(tr) = d(va) ÷ 3516.85284206666665
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = volt-ampere (va) ÷ 3516.85284206666665
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 va to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 va = 1 va × (1/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.0002843451 tr
1 va = 1 va ÷ 3516.85284206666665 = 0.0002843451 tr
Intermediate watts: 1 W
Example #2: Convert 10 va to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 va = 10 va × (1/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.0028434514 tr
10 va = 10 va ÷ 3516.85284206666665 = 0.0028434514 tr
Intermediate watts: 10 W
Summary
To convert Volt-Ampere (VA) to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in va by the ratio of watts per va divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_va × (1 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 va equals 0.00028434513609399515 tr.
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 Volt-Ampere (VA) to Ton of Refrigeration (TR) is 2.843451e-4 (1 va = 0.00028434513609399515 tr).
