Ton (Refrigeration)
A refrigeration ton is a unit of power used to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, equivalent to the heat removal of one ton of ice melting in 24 hours.
History/Origin
The refrigeration ton originated in the early 20th century as a practical measure for cooling capacity, based on the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice over a 24-hour period, approximately 12,000 BTU per hour.
Current Use
It is primarily used in HVAC and refrigeration industries to specify the cooling capacity of air conditioning units and chillers, with 1 refrigeration ton equal to 12,000 BTU/h or approximately 3.517 kilowatts.
Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
