What does one Ton (refrigeration) represent?

One Ton (refrigeration) equals the heat removal rate required to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, defined as 12,000 BTU per hour.

Why convert Ton (refrigeration) to Btu (th)/minute?

Converting to Btu (th)/minute expresses cooling capacity in terms of heat transfer rate per minute, helpful for HVAC load calculations and equipment performance comparisons.

Are Ton (refrigeration) and Btu (th)/minute always exact matches?

No, Ton (refrigeration) is non-SI with environmental assumptions and Btu (th)/minute uses thermochemical BTU, so unit consistency is important when converting.
