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