What does a ton (refrigeration) represent?

It represents the power needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours and is used for rating cooling equipment.

Why convert to calorie (th)/hour?

To express large cooling capacities as small heat-transfer rates useful in precise calorimetry and physiological heat measurements.

Is watt a better unit than calorie (th)/hour?

Watt is the preferred SI unit for power, especially in scientific contexts, though calorie (th)/hour is useful for very small heat rates.
