Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 W to tons of refrigeration:
We need to convert watts to tons of refrigeration
Since 1 TR = 3516.8528 W, divide by 3516.8528
5 ÷ 3516.8528 = 0.0014217257
5 W = 0.0014217257 TR

About These Units
Watt (W)
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power equal to one joule per second. Watts measure electrical power consumption (LED bulb: 10W, microwave: 1000W), light bulb brightness, and device power ratings. One kilowatt equals 1,000 watts. Named after inventor James Watt.
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.
