About Converting Ton of refrigerations to Deciwatts
Ton of refrigeration and Deciwatt 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: Cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h, and deciwatt is 0.1 watt units.
Formula
deciwatts = ton of refrigerations × 35168.5284207
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, and 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ton of refrigeration-to-deciwatt factor of 35168.5284207.
Simple example
1 TR × 35168.52842 = 35,168.52842 dW
1 ton of refrigeration = 35,168.52842 deciwatts.
Real-world example
100 TR × 35168.52842 = 3,516,852.842 dW
100 ton of refrigerations = 3,516,852.842 deciwatts.
