How to Convert Kilocalories per Hour to Tons of Refrigeration

The kilocalorie per hour and ton of refrigeration are both units of power. 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3023.9490972 kilocalories per hour. This means to convert kilocalories per hour to tons of refrigeration, you divide by 3023.9490972.

Formula

tons of refrigeration = kilocalories per hour ÷ 3023.9490972

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 kcal/h to tons of refrigeration:

1
Convert 5 kcal/h to tons of refrigeration

We need to convert kilocalories per hour to tons of refrigeration

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 TR = 3023.9490972 kcal/h, divide by 3023.9490972

5 ÷ 3023.9490972 = 0.001653467

Answer

5 kcal/h = 0.001653467 TR

About These Units

Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)

Kilocalories per hour (kcal/h) measures metabolic rate and heat production, equal to 1.163 watts. Basal metabolic rate is about 60-80 kcal/h. Exercise increases metabolic rate to 300-900 kcal/h depending on intensity. Also called "large calories per hour."

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.
