Energy, power and pressure converter.
Convert horsepower, kilowatts, BTU per hour, refrigeration tons, PSI, bar and pascals.
Energy, power and pressure converter inputs
Horsepower uses the mechanical convention. Refrigeration tons convert from the BTU/h input; equipment capacity and electrical consumption are different quantities.
Method: Power and pressure have separate bases: watts for power and pascals for pressure. Refrigeration tons use 12,000 BTU/h per TR.
Inputs used: Power = 1 kW; Cooling capacity = 12,000 BTU/h; Pressure = 14.7 PSI
Assumptions: The result uses the values, units and options shown in the input snapshot.
Scope and warnings: Horsepower uses the mechanical convention. Refrigeration tons convert from the BTU/h input; equipment capacity and electrical consumption are different quantities. Rounding and excluded real-world terms can make an external result differ.
How this energy, power and pressure converter works
Power and pressure have separate bases: watts for power and pascals for pressure. Refrigeration tons use 12,000 BTU/h per TR.
A worked example
One mechanical horsepower is about 0.7457 kW and one bar is 100,000 Pa.
Is horsepower always identical?
No. Mechanical, metric and electrical horsepower definitions differ. This tool labels the mechanical-horsepower convention.
Calculations run on your device. Review your results before exporting or sharing them.
Keep capacity and consumption separate
Power describes a rate, while BTU/h and refrigeration tons describe cooling capacity. Pressure has a different physical base and converts between PSI, bar and pascals.
Equipment labels can state input power, output capacity or a rated condition. Confirm which quantity is being compared before sizing equipment.
