What this calculator does
Converts a measurement given in BTU per hours into ton of refrigerations using the defined conversion factor.
What your result means
The same quantity expressed in TR instead of BTU/h. Nothing about the measurement itself changes.
Formula and working
TR = BTU/h × 0.0000833333
- 1
Start with your value
1,000 BTU/h

Result
1,000 BTU/h = 0.083333333 TR
Frequently asked questions
Symbols and assumptions
- BTU/h
- Input unit — BTU per hour
- TR
- Output unit — ton of refrigeration
- W
- Base unit used internally for power
- • Both units measure power, so the physical quantity is unchanged by the conversion.
- • The relationship is exactly linear: 1 BTU/h = 0.0000833333 TR.
- • Values are converted through the SI base unit for this quantity rather than pair by pair.
