How to convert BTU/hr to tons
One refrigeration ton is equal to 12000 BTUs per hour:
1 RT = 12000 BTU/hr
One BTU per hour is equal to 8.33333×10-5 refrigeration ton:
1 BTU/hr = 8.33333×10-5 RT
So the power P in refrigeration tons (RT) is equal to the power P in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr) divided by 12000:
P(RT) = P(BTU/hr) / 12000
Example
Convert 10000 BTU/hr to tons:
P(RT) = 10000 BTU/hr / 12000 = 0.83333 RT
