Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert TR to W?
To convert Ton of Refrigeration to Watt, multiply the TR value by 3,517. For example, 1 TR = 3,517 W.
What is the formula for TR to W?
The conversion formula is: W = TR × 3,517. To convert back: TR = W × 0.000284.
What is Ton of Refrigeration?
HVAC unit equal to 12,000 BTU/h (3,517 watts). Standard for rating commercial air conditioning and chiller systems.
What is Watt?
The SI base unit of power. One watt equals one joule per second. Used for light bulbs, small electronics, and precise measurements.
How do I size an air conditioner?
A general rule is 20 BTU/h per square foot of space. For a 500 sq ft room, you'd need about 10,000 BTU/h or roughly 0.83 tons of cooling. Factors like ceiling height, insulation, and climate affect actual needs.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes, the converter uses internationally recognized conversion factors with high precision. Results are accurate for engineering, HVAC, and automotive applications.
Can I convert other power units?
Yes, use the dropdown menus to select from many power units including Watts, Kilowatts, Megawatts, Horsepower (hp/PS), BTU/h, Tons of Refrigeration, and more.
