About Converting Ton of refrigerations to Milliwatts
Ton of refrigeration and Milliwatt 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 milliwatt is 0.001 watt units.
Formula
milliwatts = ton of refrigerations × 3516852.84207
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 milliwatt equals 0.001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ton of refrigeration-to-milliwatt factor of 3516852.84207.
Simple example
1 TR × 3516852.842 = 3,516,852.842 mW
1 ton of refrigeration = 3,516,852.842 milliwatts.
Real-world example
100 TR × 3516852.842 = 351,685,284.2 mW
100 ton of refrigerations = 351,685,284.2 milliwatts.
