How to convert kilowatts to tons of cooling

The ton of refrigeration (TRF) is the nominal unit used in some countries, especially North America, to refer to the capacity of extraction of thermal load (cooling) of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. It is a unit used in some countries. To know how to convert the kilowatts of power to tons of cooling, you just have to follow the following changes.

Steps to follow:

one

Look at the power of your air conditioner. For example, many large window units use 3, 500 watts.

two

Convert the power of the air conditioner to kilowatts by dividing by 1, 000. For example, 3, 500 watts, divided by 1, 000 equals 3.5 kilowatts.

3

Multiply the power in kilowatts by 0.284345136; Each kilowatt of energy equals 0.284345136 tons of cooling capacity cooling. Continuing with our example, 3.5 kilowatts multiplied by 0.284345136 equals approximately 0.995207976 tons of cooling capacity cooling, that is, the air conditioner is a unit of one ton.
