Ton Of Refrigeration : Is the refrigerating effect required to reduce the temperature of one ton of water from zero degree Celsius (liquid stage) to zero degree Celsius (solid stage) in 24 hour.

One ton of cooling is about 12,000 Btu/h one Btu/h is 0.293 watt so...One ton = 3.516 Kilowatts
One ton of cooling is about 12,000 Btu/h one Btu/h is 0.293 watt so...One ton = 3.516 Kilowatts
1 ton Refrigeration = 3026 kCal / hr
In Indian context how much kW equals to one ton (refrigeration)
Tonne of refrigeration(TR) is the practical unit of refrigeration effect.Tonne of refrigeration(TR) is defined
Ton of refrigeration
1 ton = 12000 BTUs
A Ton is the measurement of the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice. It is also 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) So the Ton is a measurement of the amount of heat that the refrigeration system can remove.
When talking about refrigeration, a ton is a unit of power. To quote wikipedia:"In North America, a standard ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU/h = 200 BTU/min ≈ 3,517 W. This is approximately the power required to melt one short ton (2,000 lb) of ice at 0 °C in 24 hours, thus representing the delivery of 1 ton of ice per day." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton)
1 ton refrigerant= 3.5 kW
The original definition of a "ton" of cooling capacity (heat flow) was the heat to melt one ton of ice every 24 hours. In North America, a "standard ton of refrigeration" is 12,000 BTU/h because that corresponds to the heat of fusion for water at 32 °F divided by 1 day.
