A manufacturer in the U.S. wants to sell a refrigeration system to a customer in Germany. The standard measure of refrigeration capacity used in the United States is the ‘ton’; a one-ton capacity means that the unit is capable of making about one ton of ice per day or has a heat removal rate of 12,000 Btu/hr. The capacity of the American system is to be guaranteed at three tons. What would this guarantee be in SI units?
