    This conversion is very simple : and is 1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hour.
    So if you have a 3 ton of refrigeration you have 36,000 BTU/hour.
    In addition, I want to add that in some large Data Centers, there is a movement from BTU to kW of power used by equipment. This is probably driving the Tons/kW question that the HVAC engineers are telling people cannot be solved.
    1 Ton of cooling will eliminate 12,000 BTU/hr of heat.
    12,000 BTU/hr will be produced by 3.516 kW of power used by equipment.
    1 Ton of cooling will then handle 3.516 kW of equipment load based heat exhaust.
