Cooling Conversion Tool
BTU / kW Converter
Convert cooling capacity between kW, W, BTU/h, tons of refrigeration and kcal/h. Useful when comparing CRAC/CRAH units, split AC units, cooling datasheets and project documentation.
Input
Cooling capacity value
Enter one value and select the source unit. The converter will calculate the equivalent values used in European, US and international cooling documentation.
Practical reference
Common cooling capacities
Quick comparison values for technical-room planning and datasheet sanity checks.
Documentation
Copy conversion summary
Copy the result into Jira, ServiceNow, Word, Excel, e-mail, or project documentation.
How to use
- Enter the cooling capacity value from a datasheet, AC label, CRAC unit or project note.
- Select the source unit: kW, W, BTU/h, refrigeration tons or kcal/h.
- Read the equivalent values for documentation and comparison.
- Use the result together with cooling-load calculations and site-specific HVAC design checks.
Conversion formulas
1 kW = 1,000 W. 1 kW = 3,412.14 BTU/h. 1 refrigeration ton = 12,000 BTU/h. 1 kW ≈ 859.845 kcal/h.
