Convert Btu (IT)/hour to ton (refrigeration)
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/hour [Btu/h] to ton (refrigeration) [ton], or Convert ton (refrigeration) to Btu (IT)/hour.
1 Btu/h = 8.33333333333e-05 ton. To convert Btu (IT)/hour to ton (refrigeration), multiply the value by 8.33333333333e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ton = 12000 Btu/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Btu/h = 8.33333333333e-05 ton
- 1 ton = 12000 Btu/h
- 10 Btu/h = 0.000833333333333 ton

Btu (It)/hour
Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of British thermal units (IT) transferred per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit used in the United States and was standardized for industrial and engineering purposes. The per-hour notation became common in applications requiring power measurement, especially in heating and cooling systems.
Current Use
Btu/h is widely used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to specify the capacity of heating and cooling equipment, as well as in energy analysis and thermodynamics.
Ton (Refrigeration)
A refrigeration ton is a unit of power used to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, equivalent to the heat removal of one ton of ice melting in 24 hours.
History/Origin
The refrigeration ton originated in the early 20th century as a practical measure for cooling capacity, based on the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice over a 24-hour period, approximately 12,000 BTU per hour.
Current Use
It is primarily used in HVAC and refrigeration industries to specify the cooling capacity of air conditioning units and chillers, with 1 refrigeration ton equal to 12,000 BTU/h or approximately 3.517 kilowatts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 Btu (IT)/hour in ton (refrigeration)?
1 Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) = 8.33333333333e-05 ton (refrigeration) (ton).
How do you convert Btu (IT)/hour to ton (refrigeration)?
