What is a ton (refrigeration) used for?

A ton (refrigeration) expresses the cooling capacity of HVAC and refrigeration equipment, commonly used to rate air-conditioning systems and cold-room installations.

How does Btu (IT)/minute relate to power?

Btu (IT)/minute measures the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one international British thermal unit per minute, a common unit in thermal power calculations.

Why convert from tons (refrigeration) to Btu (IT)/minute?

Conversion helps quantify cooling power in more detailed units, facilitating system design and comparison across different power measurement standards.
