About these units
Tons of Refrigeration (TR): A ton of refrigeration (TR) is 12,000 BTU/h, about 3.517 kW. Air-conditioning systems in the Gulf and Asia are sized in tons.
BTU per Hour (BTU/h): BTU per hour is used to rate air conditioners and heaters. 12,000 BTU/h is one ton of refrigeration.
Frequently asked questions
How many BTU per hour are in 1 ton of refrigeration?
1 ton of refrigeration (TR) equals 12,000 BTU per hour (BTU/h).
How do I convert TR to BTU/h?
Multiply the value in tons of refrigeration by 12,000. For example, 5 TR × 12,000 = 60,000 BTU/h.
How do I convert BTU per hour back to tons of refrigeration?
Multiply by 0.000083333333 (or divide by 12,000). 1 BTU/h = 0.000083333333 TR.
What is a ton of refrigeration?
A ton of refrigeration (TR) is 12,000 BTU/h, about 3.517 kW. Air-conditioning systems in the Gulf and Asia are sized in tons.
