Ton (Refrigeration)


A ton of refrigeration is a unit of power used to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning and refrigeration systems.



  • It is defined as the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2,000 pounds) of ice at 32°F (0°C) in 24 hours.



  • In terms of power, 1 ton of refrigeration equals:



1 ton=12,000 Btu/hour≈3.517 kilowatts1 \text{ ton} = 12,000 \text{ Btu/hour} \approx 3.517 \text{ kilowatts}

This unit helps quantify how much heat a cooling system can remove in one hour. For example, a 2-ton air conditioner can remove 24,000 Btu of heat per hour.


The ton of refrigeration is widely used in HVAC and refrigeration industries to specify system capacities.



Megawatt (MW)


The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10610^{6} watts:


1 MW=1,000,000 W1 \text{ MW} = 1,000,000 \text{ W}

Megawatts are commonly used to express the power output of medium to large-sized power plants, such as wind farms, solar plants, and small hydroelectric stations. For example, a typical wind turbine might produce around 2 to 3 MW of power.


In practical terms, 1 megawatt can supply electricity to roughly 1,000 average homes.


The megawatt is a convenient scale for measuring electrical generation and consumption on a regional or city level, bridging the gap between smaller household power use (kilowatts) and larger industrial or national-scale power (gigawatts).
