What does one ton (refrigeration) represent?

One ton (refrigeration) is the rate of heat removal needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, equal to 12,000 BTU/h or approximately 3,516.85 watts.

What is a nanojoule per second?

A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a power unit equal to one nanowatt, representing very small continuous power levels often used in microelectronics and photonics.

Why convert ton (refrigeration) to nanojoule/second?

Converting helps translate large cooling capacities into very fine power units useful for precision measurements in microelectronics and related fields.
