1 Ton of refrigeration
1 Ton of refrigeration.
Ton of Refrigeration is defined as transfer of heat from melting or freezing of ice at 0 degree Celsius in 24 hours.
It's mean that if 1 Ton of ice melted at same rate in 24 hours and produce cooling effect as like as 1 Ton of air conditioner.
Latent Heat of ice = 80 kcal/kg
To melt 1kg of ice we need = 80 KCal Heat
To melt 1000 kg of ice in 24 hours = 80X1000 Kcal
To melt "1000 kg " of ice in 1 hours = (80X1000)/ 24
To melt 1000 kg of ice in 1 min. = ((80X1000)/(24X60) Kcal
" Heat transfer rate = ((80X1000)/(24X60) Kcal/min
= 55.5 Kcal/min
= (55.5X4.18) K Joule/min
= 232.6 K Joule/ min
But in 1 Ton of refrigeration 232.6 taken as 210 Kj /min
1 Ton of refrigeration= 210 k Joule/min
1 Ton of refrigeration= 210/60 k Joule/ second
1 Ton of refrigeration= 3.5 k Joule/ second
1 Ton of refrigeration= 3.5 kilo watt
From this calculation
1 TR = 3.516 KW
= 210 Kj/min
