What does one calorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of heat or energy transfer equal to one international-table calorie of energy transferred in one minute and is used for small continuous heat rates.

What is a ton (refrigeration)?

A ton (refrigeration) is a unit of power representing the heat removal rate needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, commonly used to express cooling capacities in HVAC systems.

Why convert calorie (IT)/minute to ton (refrigeration)?

Converting allows users to translate small-scale heat transfer into cooling capacity units, assisting in HVAC and refrigeration design and thermal power analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

Use precise low-rate heat measurements for accurate conversion
Apply this conversion when translating heat transfer rates to cooling capacities
Be aware that very small input values yield fractional ton (refrigeration) results
Use the tool to better interpret thermal power data in engineering contexts

Limitations

Calorie (IT)/minute represents very small power values, so output results are often very small fractions
Ton (refrigeration) is a non-SI unit used mainly for cooling capacity, limiting this conversion's applicability outside cooling contexts
This conversion is primarily for converting heat power to cooling units, not general power equivalences
