What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of heat transfer equal to one international British thermal unit per minute, commonly used in thermal power calculations.

What is a Ton (refrigeration)?

A Ton (refrigeration) is a unit of power representing the cooling effect needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, used to rate cooling equipment.

Why convert Btu (IT)/minute to Ton (refrigeration)?

Converting to Ton (refrigeration) helps express thermal power in familiar cooling capacity units for HVAC and refrigeration system design.
