What is a ton (refrigeration)?

A ton (refrigeration) is a non-SI power unit representing the rate of heat removal needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, defined as 12,000 BTU/h or about 3,517 watts.

What does decijoule per second measure?

Decijoule per second (dJ/s) is an SI-derived unit of power representing 0.1 watt, used to quantify small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts.

Why convert ton (refrigeration) to decijoule per second?

Converting allows expressing large cooling capacities in smaller SI units suitable for precise scientific measurements, bridging HVAC sizing with detailed energy rate quantification.
