What does one ton (refrigeration) represent?

It is the power needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, equal to about 12,000 BTU/h or roughly 3,517 watts.

How is hectojoule per second related to watts?

One hectojoule per second equals 100 watts, as it measures energy transfer at 100 joules per second.

Why convert ton (refrigeration) to hectojoule per second?

To standardize the measurement of cooling power with electrical power ratings and help design integrated energy systems.
