Result
2.84345TR

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
TR = W × 0.0002843451

Multiply any value in watts by 0.0002843451 to obtain the value in tons of refrigeration.

Worked example

Convert 10000 W to TR.

  1. 01Start with 10000 W.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.0002843451 = 2.84345 TR.
Result10000 W = 2.84345 TR

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from W to TR?
1 W equals 0.0002843451 TR. To convert, multiply the value in watts by 0.0002843451.
How do I convert 1 W to TR?
1 W = 0.000284345 TR. For any value, multiply by 0.0002843451.
How do I convert TR back to W?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3516.853. So 1 TR = 3516.85 W.
When would I need to convert watt 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).
