FAQ
What is the conversion factor from GW to TR?
1 GW equals 284345.1 TR. To convert, multiply the value in gigawatts by 284345.1.
How do I convert 1 GW to TR?
1 GW = 284345 TR. For any value, multiply by 284345.1.
How do I convert TR back to GW?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3.516853e-6. So 1 TR = 3.51685e-6 GW.
When would I need to convert gigawatt to ton of refrigeration?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
