About Ton of Refrigeration (TR)

One ton of refrigeration equals 12,000 BTU/h (approximately 3.517 kW) and represents the cooling power needed to freeze one short ton of ice in 24 hours. Commercial building HVAC systems, industrial chillers, and ice rink refrigeration plants are rated in tons, with large office buildings requiring 200-500 tons of cooling.

About BTU per Hour (BTU/h)

BTU per hour measures the heating or cooling capacity of HVAC systems in the United States. Home air conditioners are rated in BTU/h (a window unit might provide 8,000-12,000 BTU/h), and furnace output determines how quickly a building can be heated in cold weather.
