About Converting Petawatts to Ton of refrigerations
Petawatt and Ton of refrigeration both measure a quantity used in structural or mechanical engineering — commonly stress, pressure, force, torque, power, or energy — where converting between the unit conventions used in different regions, industries, or equipment specifications is a routine part of design work. Specifically: Petawatt is 1000000000000000 watt units, and cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Formula
ton of refrigerations = petawatts × 284345136094
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 petawatt equals 1e+15 base units, and 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct petawatt-to-ton of refrigeration factor of 284345136094.
Simple example
1 PW × 284345136100 = 284,345,136,100 TR
1 petawatt = 284,345,136,100 ton of refrigerations.
Real-world example
100 PW × 284345136100 = 2.843451e+13 TR
100 petawatts = 2.843451e+13 ton of refrigerations.

Reverse conversion: Ton of refrigeration to Petawatt
1 TR × 3.516853e-12 = 3.516853e-12 PW
1 ton of refrigeration = 3.516853e-12 petawatts.
petawatts = ton of refrigerations × 3.516853e-12

Frequently asked questions
How many ton of refrigerations are in 1 petawatt?
1 petawatt equals 284,345,136,100 ton of refrigerations, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert petawatt to ton of refrigeration?
Multiply the petawatt value by 284345136100. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert ton of refrigeration back to petawatt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3.516853e-12 petawatts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a petawatt?
Petawatt (PW) is a unit of engineering.
What is a ton of refrigeration?
Ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of engineering.
Is the petawatt to ton of refrigeration conversion exact?
Yes. Both petawatt and ton of refrigeration are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 284345136100 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Why do engineering unit conventions vary so much by region and industry?
Pressure, force, and stress can be expressed in metric (pascal, newton), US customary (psi, pound-force), or older and industry-specific units (atmosphere, torr, kip) depending on the country, industry, and even the equipment manufacturer, which is why engineers routinely need to convert between them when working across specs from different sources.
