Air Conditioning and Refrigeration units are rated in tonnage for the larger plants because the BTU rating would be huge. It is a determination of how much heat is transferred equivalent to the amount of heat required to melt a ton if ice in a period of time. Tonne means the unit has been rated in the metric system.
