About Converting Deciwatts to Ton of refrigerations
Deciwatt and Ton of refrigeration both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Deciwatt is 0.1 watt units, and cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Formula
ton of refrigerations = deciwatts × 0.0000284345136094
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, and 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciwatt-to-ton of refrigeration factor of 0.0000284345136094.
Simple example
1 dW × 0.00002843451361 = 0.0000284345 TR
1 deciwatt = 0.0000284345 ton of refrigerations.
Real-world example
100 dW × 0.00002843451361 = 0.0028434514 TR
100 deciwatts = 0.0028434514 ton of refrigerations.
