About Converting Ton of refrigerations to Petawatts
Ton of refrigeration and Petawatt 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 petawatt is 1000000000000000 watt units.
Formula
petawatts = ton of refrigerations × 3.516853e-12
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 petawatt equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ton of refrigeration-to-petawatt factor of 3.516853e-12.
Simple example
1 TR × 3.516853e-12 = 3.516853e-12 PW
1 ton of refrigeration = 3.516853e-12 petawatts.
Real-world example
100 TR × 3.516853e-12 = 3.516853e-10 PW
100 ton of refrigerations = 3.516853e-10 petawatts.
