About this conversion
This page converts tons of refrigeration (TR) into milliwatts (mW), two units used to describe power, the rate at which energy is transferred or work is done.
A ton of refrigeration is the cooling power needed to freeze one short ton of ice in 24 hours, equal to 12,000 BTU per hour.
A milliwatt is 0.001 watt units.
The formula is mW = TR × 3516852.842, derived from each unit's fixed relationship to the watt, the SI unit of power.
Because both units are defined by exact numeric relationships to the watt, this conversion is exact rather than approximate.
