What does one ton (refrigeration) represent?

It represents the power needed to melt one short ton of ice in 24 hours, defined as 12,000 BTU/h or roughly 3516.85 watts.

Is newton meter per second equivalent to watts?

Yes, because one newton meter per second is the same as one joule per second, which equals one watt.

Where is this conversion mostly applied?

It is mainly used in HVAC engineering, refrigeration system design, and mechanical power rating for motors and pumps.
