Discover how easily you can convert Ton (refrigeration) to Hectowatt using our intuitive tool. Developed by Newtum, this page invites you to explore the seamless TR to hW conversion process. With just a few clicks, satisfy your curiosity and unlock the potential of this powerful converter.
A Ton in refrigeration terms refers to the amount of heat extracted to freeze one ton (2,000 pounds) of water at 32°F in 24 hours. Historically linked to the ice-making industry, it equals 12,000 BTU per hour. As a measure of cooling capacity, it is commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems to indicate their efficiency in heat removal.
Definition of HectowattA Hectowatt is a unit of power equivalent to 100 watts. It serves as a metric measure representing a moderate level of power consumption or production. In various applications, especially in electrical and mechanical contexts, the hectowatt allows for a convenient representation of power levels that fall between the smaller watt and larger kilowatt units, providing clarity in energy management.
Ton (refrigeration) | Hectowatt (hW) |
---|---|
0.1 TR | 3.52 hW |
0.2 TR | 7.03 hW |
0.5 TR | 17.58 hW |
1 TR | 35.17 hW |
1.5 TR | 52.75 hW |
2 TR | 70.33 hW |
2.5 TR | 87.92 hW |
3 TR | 105.50 hW |
4 TR | 140.67 hW |
5 TR | 175.83 hW |
1 TR = 35.17 hW
1 hW = 0.02845 TR
Example 1:
convert 2 TR to hW:
2 TR = 2 × 35.17 hW = 70.34 hW
Example 2:
convert 1.5 TR to hW:
1.5 TR = 1.5 × 35.17 hW = 52.75 hW
The Ton (refrigeration) to Hectowatt Converter emerged from the need to translate traditional cooling measures into modern power units. Initially, the ton of refrigeration was a standard in the ice-making industry, measuring cooling capacity. As technology advanced, the necessity to convert these units for broader engineering applications led to the development of conversion tools, bridging historical measures with contemporary energy metrics.
Explore how our Ton (refrigeration) to Hectowatt Converter finds practical applications in various industries, enhancing efficiency and understanding in energy management.
Example 1: Suppose you have a cooling system rated at 3 TR. To convert to hectowatts, multiply by 35.17, resulting in 105.50 hW.
Example 2: A refrigeration unit operates at 0.8 TR. Converting to hectowatts involves multiplying by 35.17, yielding 28.14 hW.
It is a unit measuring the heat extraction rate required to freeze one ton of water in 24 hours, equal to 12,000 BTU/hour.
Our converter multiplies the TR value by 35.17 to provide the equivalent in hectowatts.
It allows for easy conversion of cooling capacity into a widely used power unit, aiding in better energy management and analysis.
