About Converting Nanowatts to Ton of refrigerations
Nanowatt 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: Nanowatt is 1e-9 watt units, and cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Formula
ton of refrigerations = nanowatts × 2.843451e-13
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanowatt equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanowatt-to-ton of refrigeration factor of 2.843451e-13.
Simple example
1 nW × 2.843451e-13 = 2.843451e-13 TR
1 nanowatt = 2.843451e-13 ton of refrigerations.
Real-world example
100 nW × 2.843451e-13 = 2.843451e-11 TR
100 nanowatts = 2.843451e-11 ton of refrigerations.
