Formula

Formula
GW = TR × 3.516853e-6

Multiply any value in tons of refrigeration by 3.516853e-6 to obtain the value in gigawatts.

Worked example

Convert 100000 TR to GW.

  1. 01Start with 100000 TR.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100000 × 3.516853e-6 = 0.351685 GW.
Result100000 TR = 0.351685 GW

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from TR to GW?
1 TR equals 3.516853e-6 GW. To convert, multiply the value in tons of refrigeration by 3.516853e-6.
How do I convert 1 TR to GW?
1 TR = 3.51685e-6 GW. For any value, multiply by 3.516853e-6.
How do I convert GW back to TR?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 284345.1. So 1 GW = 284345 TR.
When would I need to convert ton of refrigeration to gigawatt?
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).
