Convert ton (refrigeration) to Btu (IT)/minute
Please provide values below to convert ton (refrigeration) [ton] to Btu (IT)/minute [Btu/min], or Convert Btu (IT)/minute to ton (refrigeration).
1 ton = 200 Btu/min. To convert ton (refrigeration) to Btu (IT)/minute, multiply the value by 200; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Btu/min = 0.005 ton). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ton = 200 Btu/min
- 1 Btu/min = 0.005 ton
- 10 ton = 2000 Btu/min
- 100 ton = 20000 Btu/min
How to Convert Ton (Refrigeration) to Btu (It)/minute
1 ton = 200 Btu/min
Example: convert 15 ton to Btu/min:
15 ton = 15 × 200 Btu/min = 3000 Btu/min

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.
Btu (It)/minute
Btu (IT)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (Btu) has been used historically in the United States and the UK to measure heat energy. The 'IT' designation refers to the International Table value of the Btu. The unit per minute was adopted to quantify power, which is energy transfer rate, in various engineering and thermodynamic contexts.
Current Use
Btu (IT)/minute is used in engineering, HVAC, and thermodynamics to measure heat transfer rates, especially in systems where energy flow is expressed per unit time. It is part of power conversions within the broader category of common energy and power units.
