How to Convert Tons of Refrigeration to Milliwatts
To convert tons of refrigeration to milliwatts, multiply the power by the following conversion ratio: 3,516,852.8420667 milliwatts/ton of refrigeration.
Since one ton of refrigeration is equal to 3,516,852.8420667 milliwatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The power in milliwatts is equal to the power in tons of refrigeration multiplied by 3,516,852.8420667.
For example, here's how to convert 5 tons of refrigeration to milliwatts using the formula above.
How Many Milliwatts Are in a Ton of Refrigeration?
There are 3,516,852.8420667 milliwatts in a ton of refrigeration, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our ton of refrigeration to milliwatt calculator automatically converts your power measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Tons of Refrigeration and milliwatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Ton of Refrigeration?
A ton of refrigeration is a unit of power equal to 3,516.8528421 watts (W), the base unit for power. HVAC cooling capacity equal to 12,000 BTU/hr or 3.51685 kW. [1]
The ton of refrigeration is classified as a US customary unit of power. Tons of Refrigeration can be abbreviated as TR; for example, 1 ton of refrigeration can be written as 1 TR.
When working with tons of refrigeration (TR) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, tons of refrigeration (TR) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level power specifications within US customary workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Milliwatt?
A milliwatt is a unit of power equal to 1/1,000 of a watt (0.001 W). One-thousandth of a Watt. [2]
The milliwatt is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of power. Milliwatts can be abbreviated as mW; for example, 1 milliwatt can be written as 1 mW.
In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the milliwatt (mW) a convenient decimal multiple of the watt (W).
In practice, milliwatts (mW) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale power measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting power between tons of refrigeration (TR) and milliwatts (mW), keep full floating-point precision (1 TR = 3,516,852.8420667 mW; 1 mW = 0.000000284 TR) during intermediate calculations and round only the final milliwatt figure to match your instrument tolerance.
