Formula
Decajoule (daJ) measures energy, while Ton of refrigeration (TR) measures power. These are different physical quantities, so there is no single multiplication factor that converts one into the other.
daJ relates to its own energy base unit by a factor of 10. TR relates to its own power base unit by a factor of 3516.85.

Frequently asked questions
Can Decajoule be converted to Ton of refrigeration?
Not directly. Decajoule measures energy and Ton of refrigeration measures power. Converting between different physical quantities needs an extra physical relationship (such as area, distance, or time), not just a unit ratio.
What is Decajoule used for?
The Decajoule (daJ) is a unit of energy. Decajoule is 10 joule units.
What is Ton of refrigeration used for?
The Ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of power. Cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Why does the converter show an incompatible units message?
The Universal Converter only calculates a numeric result when both units share the same physical dimension. Since Decajoule and Ton of refrigeration don't, the tool flags them as not directly compatible rather than returning a meaningless number.
What should I convert Decajoule to instead?
Use another energy unit, such as one of the related Decajoule conversions linked below.
What should I convert Ton of refrigeration to instead?
Use another power unit, such as one of the related Ton of refrigeration conversions linked below.

About this conversion
This page compares Decajoule (daJ) and Ton of refrigeration (TR) within the engineering converter.
Decajoule is 10 joule units. Cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Because Decajoule measures energy and Ton of refrigeration measures power, the two units are not directly convertible: there is no fixed ratio that turns one into the other without additional information.
The calculator above will report that these units are not compatible. For a working result, choose two units from the same measurement family — see the related conversions below.
