FAQ

What is the conversion factor from MW to TR?
1 MW equals 284.3451 TR. To convert, multiply the value in megawatts by 284.3451.
How do I convert 1 MW to TR?
1 MW = 284.345 TR. For any value, multiply by 284.3451.
How do I convert TR back to MW?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.003516853. So 1 TR = 0.00351685 MW.
When would I need to convert megawatt 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).
