What does one watt-second represent?

One watt-second (W·s) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of work done by one watt of power sustained for one second, equivalent to one joule.

What is a ton-hour (refrigeration)?

A ton-hour (refrigeration) measures the cooling effect produced by a refrigeration ton over one hour, commonly used to quantify heat removal in refrigeration and HVAC systems.

Why are converted values from watt-seconds to ton-hours so small?

Because the conversion factor is very tiny, converting watt-seconds to ton-hours typically results in very small numerical values.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts energy measurements from watt-seconds (W·s), a unit representing energy delivered over a short period, to ton-hours (refrigeration), which measures the cooling effect over time commonly used in HVAC and refrigeration systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the amount of energy in watt-seconds (W·s) you want to convert.
Select the target unit as ton-hour (refrigeration).
Click the convert button to get the equivalent energy value in ton-hours.

Key Features

Converts energy values from watt-seconds to ton-hours (refrigeration) accurately.
Supports quick calculations relevant to refrigeration and HVAC energy applications.
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.

Examples

1,000 watt-seconds is equal to approximately 7.8985e-5 ton-hours (refrigeration).
10,000 watt-seconds converts to about 7.8985e-4 ton-hours (refrigeration).

Common Use Cases

Sizing and evaluating energy removed by commercial chillers and HVAC systems.
Specifying thermal energy storage capacity in ton-hours for load management.
Estimating cooling energy for refrigerated transport, cold storage, and supermarkets.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter to relate short-duration electrical energy to refrigeration cooling capacity.
Apply the tool in contexts involving refrigeration or air conditioning to ensure meaningful energy interpretation.
Handle small result values carefully due to the very small conversion factor.

Limitations

Results often produce very small numbers because of the tiny conversion factor from watt-seconds to ton-hours.
Ton-hour applies only to refrigeration energy; ensuring the correct context is important for accurate use.
