What are Milliwatt and Ton

Definition of Milliwatt

A milliwatt, symbolized as mW, is a unit of power that represents one-thousandth of a watt. It is commonly used in applications where power levels are relatively low, such as in electronics and telecommunications. Understanding milliwatts is crucial for engineers and technicians who work with circuits and devices that require precise power measurements. This unit allows for the accurate quantification of energy consumption and generation, making it essential in the design and optimization of electronic components and systems.

Definition of Ton

A ton, in the context of refrigeration, is a unit of power used to describe the cooling capacity of an air conditioning system. It originates from the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice in a 24-hour period. One ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour or approximately 3.517 kilowatts. This measurement is pivotal for understanding the efficiency and effectiveness of cooling systems, allowing engineers and consumers to compare different units and select the most suitable one for their cooling needs.

Conversion of Milliwatt to Ton

1 mW = 0.0000002843 TR
1 TR = 3,517,000 mW

Example 1:
Convert 500 mW to TR:
500 mW = 500 × 0.0000002843 TR = 0.00014215 TR

Example 2:
Convert 2000 mW to TR:
2000 mW = 2000 × 0.0000002843 TR = 0.0005686 TR

History of Milliwatt and Ton
