What does foot pound-force per second measure?

It measures mechanical power as one pound-force applied through a one-foot displacement every second.

What is a ton (refrigeration)?

A ton (refrigeration) is a unit of cooling power equal to the heat removal rate required to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours.

Why convert foot pound-force/second to ton (refrigeration)?

To relate mechanical power values in imperial units to cooling capacities used in HVAC and refrigeration engineering.
