About this conversion
This page converts gigawatts (GW) into tons of refrigeration (TR), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A gigawatt is 1e+09 watt units.
A ton of refrigeration is the cooling power needed to freeze one short ton of ice in 24 hours, equal to 12,000 BTU per hour.
The formula is TR = GW × 284345.1361, derived from each unit's fixed relationship to the watt, the SI unit of power.
Because both units are defined by exact numeric relationships to the watt, this conversion is exact rather than approximate.
