Formula and methodology
Formula: Cooling capacity in kW = refrigeration tons × 3.51685284; cooling rate in Btu/h = refrigeration tons × 12,000.
A refrigeration ton is a historical cooling-capacity unit, not a metric tonne of mass and not automatically the electricity drawn by an air conditioner. This page performs the named capacity conversion and keeps the distinction visible so a visitor can compare equipment labels across unit systems.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Refrigeration capacity — ton of refrigeration; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Refrigeration capacity | 6 |
6 tons of refrigeration correspond to about 21.1011 kW of cooling capacity and 72,000 Btu/h.
Assumptions and limits
- One refrigeration ton is treated as 12,000 Btu per hour, equivalent to approximately 3.51685284 kW of cooling capacity.
- The output describes a rate of heat removal, not a device's electrical consumption or seasonal efficiency.
- No coefficient of performance, compressor input, fan power, part-load behavior, climate, or installation loss is inferred.
- The capacity input is nonnegative and uses refrigeration tons, not tonnes, kilograms, or a mass flow.
- Use the equipment nameplate, local rating standard, and manufacturer data for procurement, code, or system design decisions.
- The conversion is unit arithmetic and remains valid internationally when the refrigeration-ton convention is explicitly named.
