What does a centiwatt measure?

A centiwatt quantifies very low power levels, such as those in micro-energy harvesting or small sensor devices.

Why use ton (refrigeration) as a power unit?

Ton (refrigeration) defines the cooling capacity of HVAC and refrigeration equipment, relating to heat removal rate.

Is the ton (refrigeration) unit part of the SI system?

No, ton (refrigeration) is a non-SI unit commonly used in regions familiar with imperial or customary measurements.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from centiwatt (cW), a unit used for very low power, to tons (refrigeration), which describe cooling capacity in HVAC and refrigeration systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in centiwatt (cW) you wish to convert.
Select 'centiwatt [cW]' as the input unit if not preselected.
Choose 'ton (refrigeration)' as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in tons (refrigeration).

Key Features

Converts centiwatt (cW) to ton (refrigeration) accurately based on established rates.
Suitable for applications linking low-power electronics to HVAC performance metrics.
Browser-based and easy to use without additional software.
Supports power unit conversion across vastly different scales.

Examples

10 centiwatt converts to approximately 0.0000284345 ton (refrigeration).
100 centiwatt equals about 0.000284345 ton (refrigeration).

Common Use Cases

Translating power consumption of ultra-low-power electronics into larger HVAC cooling units.
Integrating sensor node power outputs with refrigeration system design parameters.
Performing load calculations in building energy management for combined electrical and cooling systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the units before conversion to ensure accuracy.
Use this conversion primarily for theoretical calculations or integration purposes.
Be aware of the scale difference between centiwatt and ton (refrigeration) to interpret results appropriately.

Limitations

Centiwatt measures very low power while ton (refrigeration) represents large cooling capacity; practical conversions are uncommon.
Ton (refrigeration) is a non-SI unit and may not be standard in all regions or industries.
This conversion is mainly for applications linking electronics power to HVAC metrics, not routine measurements.
