About Converting Microwatts to Ton of refrigerations
Microwatt 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: Microwatt is 0.000001 watt units, and cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Formula
ton of refrigerations = microwatts × 2.843451e-10
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microwatt equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microwatt-to-ton of refrigeration factor of 2.843451e-10.
Simple example
1 uW × 2.843451e-10 = 2.843451e-10 TR
1 microwatt = 2.843451e-10 ton of refrigerations.
Real-world example
100 uW × 2.843451e-10 = 2.843451e-8 TR
100 microwatts = 2.843451e-8 ton of refrigerations.
