What is a dekajoule per second?

It is an SI-derived unit of power equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts, used to measure energy transfer rates.

How does a ton (refrigeration) relate to watts?

A ton (refrigeration) represents the heat removal rate needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours and is approximately 3,516.85 watts.

Where is this conversion commonly applied?

It is often used in HVAC engineering, designing refrigeration systems, and sizing air-conditioning units for buildings.

What Is This Tool?

This converter tool helps translate power values measured in dekajoule per second (daJ/s), an SI-derived unit, into tons (refrigeration), a unit used primarily to describe cooling capacity in HVAC and refrigeration systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the numerical value in dekajoule/second you want to convert.
Select ton (refrigeration) as the target unit.
Click convert to get the equivalent cooling power value.

Key Features

Converts power units from dekajoule/second to ton (refrigeration) accurately.
Supports HVAC and refrigeration specific unit conversion needs.
Browser-based and user-friendly for quick calculations.

Examples

Convert 10 daJ/s to ton (refrigeration): 10 × 0.0028434514 = 0.028434514 tons.
Convert 100 daJ/s to ton (refrigeration): 100 × 0.0028434514 = 0.28434514 tons.

Common Use Cases

Sizing residential and commercial air-conditioning equipment in tons.
Calculating cooling capacity for refrigeration and cold-room systems.
Performing HVAC load calculations during building energy management.

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the unit context—ton (refrigeration) relates specifically to cooling capacity.
Use this tool when converting power units relevant to HVAC or refrigeration engineering.
Be aware that the ton (refrigeration) is a non-SI unit tied to a specific heat removal process.

Limitations

Ton (refrigeration) is non-SI and may not apply well outside cooling or heating system contexts.
Conversion accuracy can be affected by rounding since the unit approximates a thermal process involving ice melting.
