About Watt
The watt is the SI unit of power (one joule per second). All linear units in this converter are defined by a fixed watt equivalent.
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 watts to tons of refrigeration (tr)
1 watt is equal to 0.00028434513609 ton of refrigeration (tr) when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 w = (1 W ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 W) tr = 0.00028434513609 tr
Each watt is defined as 1 W and each ton of refrigeration (tr) as 3,516.8528420666667 W in this tool, so one w equals 1 ÷ 3,516.8528420666667 tr = 0.00028434513609 tr.
Let d(w) be the numeric value in Watt (w), and d(tr) the value in Ton of Refrigeration (TR) (tr). Then:
d(tr) = d(w) × (1 / 3,516.8528420666667)
Equivalently, divide by how many w fit into one tr (watts per tr divided by watts per w):
d(tr) = d(w) ÷ 3516.85284206666665
Or: ton of refrigeration (tr) = watt ÷ 3516.85284206666665
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 w to ton of refrigeration (tr)
1 w = 1 w × (1/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.0002843451 tr
1 w = 1 w ÷ 3516.85284206666665 = 0.0002843451 tr
Intermediate watts: 1 W
Example #2: Convert 10 w to ton of refrigeration (tr)
10 w = 10 w × (1/3,516.8528420666667) tr = 0.0028434514 tr
10 w = 10 w ÷ 3516.85284206666665 = 0.0028434514 tr
Intermediate watts: 10 W
Summary
To convert Watt to Ton of Refrigeration (TR), multiply the value in w by the ratio of watts per w divided by watts per tr. Equivalently: value_tr = value_w × (1 / 3516.8528420666667). Numerically, 1 w equals 0.00028434513609399515 tr.
Relationship context
You are converting between SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Watts) 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-4.
