What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power measurements from ton (refrigeration), a unit indicating cooling capacity in HVAC systems, to electric horsepower, a unit rating the power output of electric motors.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in ton (refrigeration) you want to convert
  • Select ton (refrigeration) as the input unit and horsepower (electric) as the output unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent electric horsepower value
  • Use the result to assist in selecting or matching motor power with cooling equipment

Key Features

  • Converts cooling capacity in ton (refrigeration) to motor power expressed in electric horsepower
  • Uses a standard conversion factor based on power equivalencies
  • Helps relate HVAC and refrigeration cooling loads to corresponding motor power requirements
  • Supports practical applications in air-conditioning, refrigeration, and motor sizing tasks

Examples

  • 2 Ton (refrigeration) equals approximately 9.43 Horsepower (electric)
  • 0.5 Ton (refrigeration) converts to about 2.36 Horsepower (electric)

Common Use Cases

  • Rating residential and commercial air-conditioning units in terms of motor power
  • Specifying motor power for refrigeration and cold-room compressors
  • Performing HVAC load calculations to select compatible electric motors
  • Designing refrigeration systems and matching motors to cooling equipment requirements

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify units before converting to ensure accurate interpretation of results
  • Use conversion outputs as guides for motor sizing rather than absolute specifications
  • Consider consulting technical standards when matching motor ratings for specific applications
  • Keep in mind different contexts may require adjustments due to local standards or efficiencies

Limitations

  • Ton (refrigeration) measures cooling capacity, whereas electric horsepower indicates motor output power—they measure related but distinct concepts
  • Approximate equivalences and rounding may affect precision of conversion results
  • Standard definitions underlie this conversion; variations in local standards or motor efficiencies may limit direct applicability

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ton (refrigeration) represent?
It is a non-SI unit of power representing the cooling rate needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, commonly used to express HVAC and refrigeration cooling capacities.

What is electric horsepower used for?
Electric horsepower measures the output power of electric motors and is used to rate motors in pumps, fans, compressors, and related equipment.

Why convert ton (refrigeration) to electric horsepower?
To relate cooling capacity to motor power requirements, aiding in selecting compatible electric motors for HVAC and refrigeration equipment.

Key Terminology

Ton (refrigeration)
A non-SI power unit used to express the cooling rate required to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, approximately 3,517 watts.
Horsepower (electric)
A unit of power used for rating electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts, representing electric motor output.
