What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms power values between ton (refrigeration), a unit for cooling capacity in HVAC systems, and metric horsepower, a unit for mechanical power in engines and motors.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numerical value in tons (refrigeration) you wish to convert
  • Select ton (refrigeration) as the input unit and metric horsepower as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in metric horsepower
  • Review the result to assist with system design or performance comparison

Key Features

  • Converts power units from ton (refrigeration) to metric horsepower accurately using established rates
  • Supports comparisons between cooling capacities and mechanical power outputs
  • Ideal for applications in HVAC engineering, refrigeration, and automotive industries
  • Browser-based and easy to operate without installation

Examples

  • 2 tons (refrigeration) converts to approximately 9.56 metric horsepower
  • 0.5 ton (refrigeration) equals about 2.39 metric horsepower

Common Use Cases

  • Evaluating air-conditioning system capacities for residential and commercial buildings
  • Designing commercial refrigeration and cold-room installations
  • Comparing cooling system power with engine or motor output ratings in engineering projects

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure units selected match exactly for accurate conversion results
  • Use conversions for cross-standard performance evaluation, not for efficiency calculations
  • Confirm the context of the data, as these units measure different types of power
  • Use the tool as part of integrated design and analysis efforts where cooling and mechanical power intersect

Limitations

  • Ton (refrigeration) measures cooling power, not mechanical work output, so direct physical equivalence is limited
  • Conversions rely on standard definitions and don’t account for real-world efficiency or system losses
  • Metric horsepower and ton (refrigeration) quantify different physical phenomena, requiring careful contextual use

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a ton (refrigeration) represent?
It is a non-SI unit of power defined as the heat removal rate needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, approximately 3,516.85 watts.

Why convert ton (refrigeration) to metric horsepower?
To compare cooling system capacities with mechanical power outputs, aiding integrated design and performance analysis across different power measures.

Can this conversion be used to determine mechanical engine output?
No, because ton (refrigeration) measures cooling power, not mechanical work; conversions should be applied only in relevant contexts.

Key Terminology

Ton (refrigeration)
A unit of cooling power equal to the heat removal rate to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, approximately 3,516.85 watts.
Metric horsepower
A unit of mechanical power equal to exactly 735.49875 watts, used to express energy transfer by engines or motors.
