About Converting Ton of refrigerations to Hectowatts
Ton of refrigeration and Hectowatt 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 hectowatt is 100 watt units.
Formula
hectowatts = ton of refrigerations × 35.1685284207
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 hectowatt equals 100 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ton of refrigeration-to-hectowatt factor of 35.1685284207.
Simple example
1 TR × 35.16852842 = 35.16852842 hW
1 ton of refrigeration = 35.16852842 hectowatts.
Real-world example
100 TR × 35.16852842 = 3,516.852842 hW
100 ton of refrigerations = 3,516.852842 hectowatts.

Frequently asked questions
How many hectowatts are in 1 ton of refrigeration?
1 ton of refrigeration equals 35.16852842 hectowatts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert ton of refrigeration to hectowatt?
Multiply the ton of refrigeration value by 35.16852842. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert hectowatt back to ton of refrigeration?
Use the reverse factor: 1 hectowatt equals 0.0284345136 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 hectowatt?
Hectowatt (hW) is a unit of engineering.
Is the ton of refrigeration to hectowatt conversion exact?
Yes. Both ton of refrigeration and hectowatt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 35.16852842 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.
