Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
Poundal Foot
The poundal foot (pdl*ft) is a unit of energy representing the work done when a force of one poundal acts over a distance of one foot.
History/Origin
The poundal foot originated in the foot-poundal system of units, which was used primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
The poundal foot is rarely used today and has been largely replaced by the joule in scientific and engineering contexts. It may still appear in historical references or specialized fields dealing with imperial units.
