what is difference between cooling tower ton and refrigeration ton
A ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU / hour [1, 2] which corresponds to the amount of energy necessary to melt on ton of ice in 24 hour.
A cooling tower ton is defined as 15,000 BTU / hour [1, 2].
The additional energy required for the cooling tower ton [2] is the result of the energy required to run water pumps, compressors and other auxiliaries necessary to operate the system.
