How to Convert BTU per Hour to Tons of Refrigeration
The btu per hour and ton of refrigeration are both units of power. 1 ton of refrigeration equals 11999.999864 btu per hour. This means to convert btu per hour to tons of refrigeration, you divide by 11999.999864.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 BTU/h to tons of refrigeration:
We need to convert btu per hour to tons of refrigeration
Since 1 TR = 11999.999864 BTU/h, divide by 11999.999864
5 ÷ 11999.999864 = 0.0004166667
5 BTU/h = 0.0004166667 TR

About These Units
BTU per Hour (BTU/h)
BTU per hour (BTU/h or BTUH) measures heating and cooling capacity. Air conditioners are rated in BTU/h (window unit: 5,000-12,000 BTU/h, central AC: 24,000-60,000 BTU/h). Furnaces range from 40,000-200,000 BTU/h. One BTU/h equals 0.293 watts.
Ton of Refrigeration (TR)
A ton of refrigeration (TR or RT) equals 12,000 BTU/h or 3.517 kW—the cooling power of melting one ton of ice in 24 hours. Tons rate commercial air conditioning systems, chillers, and industrial cooling. Home central AC is typically 2-5 tons.
