Convert ton (refrigeration) to MBtu (IT)/hour
Please provide values below to convert ton (refrigeration) [ton] to MBtu (IT)/hour [MBtu/h], or Convert MBtu (IT)/hour to ton (refrigeration).
1 ton = 0.012 MBtu/h. To convert ton (refrigeration) to MBtu (IT)/hour, multiply the value by 0.012; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MBtu/h = 83.3333333333 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 = 0.012 MBtu/h
- 1 MBtu/h = 83.3333333333 ton
- 10 ton = 0.12 MBtu/h
- 100 ton = 1.2 MBtu/h
How to Convert Ton (Refrigeration) to Mbtu (It)/hour
1 ton = 0.012 MBtu/h
Example: convert 15 ton to MBtu/h:
15 ton = 15 × 0.012 MBtu/h = 0.18 MBtu/h

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.
Mbtu (It)/hour
MBtu/h (Million British thermal units per hour) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption, particularly in heating, cooling, and energy industries.
History/Origin
The MBtu/h unit originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy, with the 'Million' prefix indicating a large-scale measurement. It has been used primarily in the United States and industry contexts to quantify energy flow rates in power and energy systems.
Current Use
Today, MBtu/h is used in the energy sector to specify heating and cooling capacities, energy production rates, and power consumption in industrial and commercial applications, especially where large-scale thermal energy transfer is involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
