Convert picowatt to ton (refrigeration)
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to ton (refrigeration) [ton], or Convert ton (refrigeration) to picowatt.
1 pW = 2.8435e-16 ton. To convert picowatt to ton (refrigeration), multiply the value by 2.8435e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ton = 3.5169e+15 pW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pW = 2.8435e-16 ton
- 1 ton = 3.5169e+15 pW
- 10 pW = 2.8435e-15 ton
- 100 pW = 2.8435e-14 ton
How to Convert Picowatt to Ton (Refrigeration)
1 pW = 2.8434513626109e-16 ton
Example: convert 15 pW to ton:
15 pW = 15 × 2.8434513626109e-16 ton = 4.26517704391634e-15 ton

Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
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.
