2 Ton = 7.033705 kW, Use our ton to kw calculator to convert the cooling capacity from tons of refrigeration (TR) to kilowatts (kW) using P (kW) = P (RT) x 3.5168525 formula.
The term “ton” in this context refers to a unit of refrigeration, not weight. One ton of refrigeration is defined as the amount of heat required to melt 2,000 pounds (907 kg) of ice in 24 hours. This is equivalent to about 12,000 BTU/hour or 3.517 kW of heat removal.
An air conditioning unit rated at 5 tons, using the conversion factor, you can calculate its power in kilowatts:
5 tons x 3.51685 kW/ton = 17.58425 kWA 5-ton AC unit has a power output of approximately 17.58 kW.
A 5-ton air conditioning unit has a cooling capacity equivalent to melting 10,000 pounds of ice in 24 hours.

Ton To Kw Conversion Formula
The formula for converting tons to kilowatts is:
kW = Tons × 3.517Where:
- P (kW) is the power in kilowatts.
- P (RT) is the power in refrigeration tons.
This formula is derived from the definition of a ton of refrigeration, where 1 ton equals 3.517 kW.
To convert 2 tons to kilowatts:
P (kW) = 2 RT x 3.5168525 = 7.033705 kWThis means that 2 tons of refrigeration is equivalent to approximately 7.03 kW.
To convert 3 tons to kW:
- kW = 3 × 3.517
- kW = 10.551 kW
How do you convert ton to kW?
- Identify the cooling capacity in tons.
- Multiply the tonnage by 3.517.
- The result is the equivalent power in kilowatts.
Let’s convert 7.5 tons to kW:
Cooling capacity: 7.5 tons
Multiply by 3.517: 7.5 × 3.517 = 26.3775
Result: 7.5 tons is equivalent to 26.3775 kW
How much kW is in one ton AC?
One ton of air conditioning is equivalent to 3.517 kW of cooling capacity. This is a fixed conversion rate based on the definition of a ton of refrigeration.
A 1-ton air conditioner can remove 3.517 kW of heat from a space per hour. The electrical power consumed by the AC unit to achieve this cooling effect is typically less due to the Coefficient of Performance (COP) or Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of the system.
If an AC unit has a COP of 3, it means:
- Cooling capacity: 3.517 kW
- Electrical power consumption: 3.517 / 3 ≈ 1.172 kW
