1 BTU per hour (BTU/h) equals 0.000083333333 tons of refrigeration (TR).

Quick answer

  • 1 BTU per hour = 0.000083333333 tons of refrigeration
  • 1 ton of refrigeration = 12,000 BTUs per hour
  • Formula: TR = BTU/h ÷ 12,000

1 BTU per hour = 0.000083333333 tons of refrigeration

How to convert BTUs per hour to tons of refrigeration

TR = BTU/h ÷ 12,000

To convert BTUs per hour to tons of refrigeration, divide the number of BTUs per hour by 12,000.

Example: 18 BTU/h to TR

  1. Start with the value in BTUs per hour: 18 BTU/h.
  2. Divide by 12,000: 18 ÷ 12,000 = 0.0015.
  3. Result: 18 BTUs per hour = 0.0015 tons of refrigeration.

Going the other way, 1 ton of refrigeration = 12,000 BTUs per hour, so to convert tons of refrigeration back to BTUs per hour you multiply by the same number. See tons of refrigeration to BTUs per hour.
