About Converting Ton of refrigerations to Decawatts
Ton of refrigeration and Decawatt 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: Cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h, and decawatt is 10 watt units.
Formula
decawatts = ton of refrigerations × 351.685284207
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, and 1 decawatt equals 10 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ton of refrigeration-to-decawatt factor of 351.685284207.
Simple example
1 TR × 351.6852842 = 351.6852842 daW
1 ton of refrigeration = 351.6852842 decawatts.
Real-world example
100 TR × 351.6852842 = 35,168.52842 daW
100 ton of refrigerations = 35,168.52842 decawatts.

Frequently asked questions
How many decawatts are in 1 ton of refrigeration?
1 ton of refrigeration equals 351.6852842 decawatts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert ton of refrigeration to decawatt?
Multiply the ton of refrigeration value by 351.6852842. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert decawatt back to ton of refrigeration?
Use the reverse factor: 1 decawatt equals 0.0028434514 ton of refrigerations. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a ton of refrigeration?
Ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of engineering.
What is a decawatt?
Decawatt (daW) is a unit of engineering.
Is the ton of refrigeration to decawatt conversion exact?
Yes. Both ton of refrigeration and decawatt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 351.6852842 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.
