What does one ton (refrigeration) represent?

It is a non-SI power unit representing the heat removal rate to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, equal to 12,000 BTU/h or approximately 3,517 watts.

Why convert from ton (refrigeration) to exajoule per second?

Converting helps compare common HVAC cooling power measurements with much larger planetary or astrophysical energy flow rates.

Is this conversion useful for everyday HVAC calculations?

No, because exajoule/second measures extremely large energy scales, this conversion mainly serves theoretical or comparative purposes.
