What is a ton (refrigeration) used for?

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

Why convert ton (refrigeration) to centiwatt?

Converting to centiwatt allows expressing large cooling capacities in much smaller power units, facilitating detailed energy comparisons for ultra-low-power electronics.

Is the conversion precise for all values?

While the conversion is based on a defined rate, precision may be limited when dealing with extremely large or small values due to scale differences.
