What does Btu (IT)/second represent?

It represents the rate of heat transfer equal to one International Table British thermal unit transferred per second.

What is a Ton (refrigeration)?

A Ton (refrigeration) is a unit defining the cooling capacity needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, commonly used in HVAC and refrigeration.

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

Because cooling capacities for HVAC and refrigeration are often expressed in tons, converting helps relate heat transfer rates to practical cooling requirements.
