About the units
Megawatt (MW)
One million watts; used for power plants and wind turbines (a modern onshore turbine is 3–6 MW). One megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts (W).
Ton of refrigeration (TR)
12,000 BTU/h (about 3.517 kW), historically the cooling from melting one short ton of ice per day. One ton of refrigeration equals 3,516.852842 watts (W).
Frequently asked questions
How many tons of refrigeration are in one megawatt?
There are 284.3451361 tons of refrigeration in one megawatt, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert megawatts to tons of refrigeration?
Multiply the number of megawatts by 284.3451361. For example, 10 MW × 284.3451361 = 2,843.451361 TR.
How many megawatts are in one ton of refrigeration?
One ton of refrigeration equals 0.003516852842 megawatts. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 284.3451361.
What is 10 megawatts in tons of refrigeration?
10 MW = 2,843.451361 TR.
Is this MW to TR converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
