There are approximately 6,700-8,300 BTUs per pound of lignite coal. A ton of lignite coal contains 20-24 million BTUs.

One ton of TNT is equivalent to approximately 4.184 billion British Thermal Units (BTUs).
An HVAC system is rated in British Thermal Units (BTUs). For example, a 2-ton air conditioning system is 24,000 BTUs. That's 12,000 BTUs per ton. So a 3.5-ton air conditioner is a 42,000 BTUs.
A 5-ton air conditioning unit typically has a cooling capacity of about 60,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. This is calculated by multiplying the tonnage by 12,000 BTUs per ton, as one ton is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs. Therefore, a 5-ton unit is designed to remove 60,000 BTUs of heat from a space each hour.
60,000 Btu's 12,000 Btu's = 1 ton
A 5-ton air conditioning unit typically has a cooling capacity of about 60,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. This is calculated by knowing that one ton of cooling is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs, so 5 tons equals 5 x 12,000 BTUs. Therefore, a 5-ton unit provides adequate cooling for larger spaces.
A one ton heat pump typically has around 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour of heating or cooling capacity.
To convert BTUs (British Thermal Units) to tons of refrigeration (TR), you can use the conversion factor where 1 ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. Therefore, 9,000 BTUs is approximately 0.75 tons of refrigeration (9,000 BTUs ÷ 12,000 BTUs/ton = 0.75 TR).
1 ton = 12000 BTUs
The Trane model WCCO24F100BB is a 2-ton air conditioning unit. This designation is based on its cooling capacity, which is measured in BTUs, with 1 ton equivalent to 12,000 BTUs. Therefore, the WCCO24F100BB has a cooling capacity of approximately 24,000 BTUs.
A ton is the amount of cooling capacity (power), not energy. 1 ton is equal to 12,000 BTU/hr.
