Cooling Tonnage from kW Calculator: worked example
This example is generated from PROFENG's own default input set and the implemented relationship. It is not copied from a cited publication.
Relationship
TR = kW / 3.51685284
This calculator determines cooling capacity from cooling load. Use it for HVAC and building-services screening with transparent air, thermal or flow assumptions.
Inputs
- Cooling load (load) = 35.1685 kW
Working
(35.1685)/3.51685284 = 10 tons refrigeration
Cooling capacity: 10 tons refrigeration
Assumptions and limits
- Air or fluid properties are represented by the entered values.
- The calculation represents steady operation unless the formula explicitly includes time.
- Room, duct or envelope geometry is idealized by the displayed relationship.
- This is a capacity-unit conversion and does not account for equipment efficiency, COP or part-load performance.
Formula source and acknowledgement
Source being confirmed. No candidate title is displayed until the exact relationship is confirmed against an approved published source.
Automated verification passed – 30 September 2026 – six numerical cases checked, with dimensional checks and an independent implementation where applicable.
This worked example is for engineering screening and education. Replace defaults with traceable project data and confirm the method, assumptions, standards and equipment information before design, procurement or operation.
