I'm going out on a limb here and guessing what you really want to know is how much electrical power is required to produce a ton of refrigeration.
You can look up the conversion from horsepower requirements but you're going to have to determine your temperature range. The power required depends on the cold side and hot side temperatures. A simple cooler operating at 35 degrees F with an evaporative condenser operating at 95 degrees F may require less than 1 horsepower per ton. But a two stage system operating at -50 F on the cold side might require almost twice as much.
Sorry there is no simple answer.

2545 BTU/hr = 1 HP; 746 Watts = 1 HP; find BTU/hr per ton....I don't recall (maybe 12,000)
