What is a ton (refrigeration) used for?

A ton (refrigeration) expresses cooling capacity in HVAC and refrigeration equipment, representing the rate of heat removal to melt ice in 24 hours.

Why convert to attojoule per second?

Attojoule per second is used to measure extremely small power rates in ultra-low-power electronics, quantum devices, and nanoscale thermal experiments.

Are ton (refrigeration) and attojoule/second units commonly interchangeable?

No, due to the vast difference in scale, these units are rarely used interchangeably and serve different measurement needs.
