About Converting Terawatts to Ton of refrigerations
Terawatt 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: Terawatt is 1000000000000 watt units, and cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Formula
ton of refrigerations = terawatts × 284345136.094
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 terawatt equals 1e+12 base units, and 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct terawatt-to-ton of refrigeration factor of 284345136.094.
Simple example
1 TW × 284345136.1 = 284,345,136.1 TR
1 terawatt = 284,345,136.1 ton of refrigerations.
Real-world example
100 TW × 284345136.1 = 28,434,513,610 TR
100 terawatts = 28,434,513,610 ton of refrigerations.
