This conversion is very simple : and is 1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hour.
So if you have a 3 ton of refrigeration you have 36,000 BTU/hour.
In addition, I want to add that in some large Data Centers, there is a movement from BTU to kW of power used by equipment. This is probably driving the Tons/kW question that the HVAC engineers are telling people cannot be solved.
1 Ton of cooling will eliminate 12,000 BTU/hr of heat.
12,000 BTU/hr will be produced by 3.516 kW of power used by equipment.
1 Ton of cooling will then handle 3.516 kW of equipment load based heat exhaust.
In refrigeration the cooling capacity may be expressed in BTUs/hr or tons of refrigeration. One refrigeration ton is equal to 12000 BTUs per hour. This equivalency comes from the comparison of the energy required to melt one tom of ice in 24 hours and the energy in the number of BTUs/hr to achieve the same transfer of energy.
12.5 tons

A Ton is the measurement of the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice. It is also 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) So the Ton is a measurement of the amount of heat that the refrigeration system can remove.
The metric conversion of kilocalories convert to British Thermal Units is straightforward. For example, 50,000 kcal is equal to 198 283.342 but.
3.517 kW = 1.0 Tons Refrigeration. So 15 kW is 4.265 Tons Refrigeration

There are 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) in a ton of refrigeration (1 ton of refrigeration = 12,000 BTU/h). This measure is commonly used in the refrigeration industry to quantify the cooling capacity of a system.
To convert refrigeration tons (RT) to kilowatt-hours (kWh), you need to know the efficiency of the refrigeration system. Multiply the RT by 12,000 (which is the number of BTUs per hour in one refrigeration ton) to get the BTUs per hour. Then, divide the BTUs per hour by the system's efficiency to get the kWh required.
The formula is simple. One ton of cooling equals 12000 btu. So a three ton A/C has a 36000 btu capacity.
Yes. A ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12000 BTU/hr, so in 24 hours, 288000 BTU of energy is expended. See related link, below.
tempstar 5000 model CA5548VKD2 Tonnage??? The 48 before the VKD in the model number stands for 48000, BTU. For refrigeration, 1 Ton = 12000 BTU. Therefore 48000 BTU / 12000 (1 Ton) = 4 Tons
As i found: A measure of the effective cooling capacity of a refrigerator, expressed in Btu per hour ot in tons, where one ton of capacity is equal to the heat required to melt 2000 pounds of ice in 24 hours or 12000 Btu per hour.
To convert Cubic Feet to Btu's, multiply by 1,000 1 CF = 1,000 Btu's
1 TR = 3.517 KW-hours 1000 KW = 284.33 TR
If you mean BTU as in British Thermal Units cars generally have 3 to 5 ton airconditioners. A 12,000 BTU/hour cooling capacity is equivalent to 1 ton of refrigeration. The BTU equivalent of 1 ton of refrigeration is 288,000 BTU per 24 hours.
1 ton = 12000 BTUs
