MEASUR-Tools-Suite v1.0.11
The MEASUR Tools Suite is a collection of industrial efficiency calculations written in C++ and with bindings for compilation to WebAssembly.

The tons of refrigeration is calculated by multiplying the recovered heat by the chiller COP and dividing by the BTU per ton conversion factor. The conversion factor is physics::conversions::kBtuPerTonRefrigeration (12,000 Btu/hr per Ton).
\begin{equation}\label{eq:water-heating-exhaust-tons-refrigeration} TR = \frac{Q_{rec} \cdot COP_{chiller}}{CF_{ton}}\end{equation}
| \(TR\) | Tons of refrigeration \([\unit{ tons}]\) |
| \(Q_{rec}\) | Recovered heat \([\unit{ \btu\per\hour}]\) |
| \(COP_{chiller}\) | Coefficient of performance for chiller \([\unit{ \unitless}]\) |
| \(CF_{ton}\) | Btu per ton conversion factor (12,000) - see physics::conversions::kBtuPerTonRefrigeration \([\unit{ \btu\per\hour\per\ton}]\) |
