About Converting Ton of refrigerations to Deciwatts
Ton of refrigeration and Deciwatt 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 deciwatt is 0.1 watt units.
Formula
deciwatts = ton of refrigerations × 35168.5284207
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 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ton of refrigeration-to-deciwatt factor of 35168.5284207.
Simple example
1 TR × 35168.52842 = 35,168.52842 dW
1 ton of refrigeration = 35,168.52842 deciwatts.
Real-world example
100 TR × 35168.52842 = 3,516,852.842 dW
100 ton of refrigerations = 3,516,852.842 deciwatts.

Frequently asked questions
How many deciwatts are in 1 ton of refrigeration?
1 ton of refrigeration equals 35,168.52842 deciwatts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert ton of refrigeration to deciwatt?
Multiply the ton of refrigeration value by 35168.52842. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciwatt back to ton of refrigeration?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciwatt equals 0.0000284345 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 deciwatt?
Deciwatt (dW) is a unit of engineering.
Is the ton of refrigeration to deciwatt conversion exact?
Yes. Both ton of refrigeration and deciwatt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 35168.52842 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.
