Convert ton-hour (refrigeration) to Btu (IT)
Please provide values below to convert ton-hour (refrigeration) [ton*h] to Btu (IT) [Btu (IT)], or Convert Btu (IT) to ton-hour (refrigeration).
1 ton*h = 12000 Btu (IT). To convert ton-hour (refrigeration) to Btu (IT), multiply the value by 12000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Btu (IT) = 8.33333333333e-05 ton*h). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ton*h = 12000 Btu (IT)
- 1 Btu (IT) = 8.33333333333e-05 ton*h
- 10 ton*h = 120000 Btu (IT)
- 100 ton*h = 1200000 Btu (IT)
How to Convert Ton-Hour (Refrigeration) to Btu (It)
1 ton*h = 12000 Btu (IT)
Example: convert 15 ton*h to Btu (IT):
15 ton*h = 15 × 12000 Btu (IT) = 180000 Btu (IT)

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.
Btu (It)
The Btu (IT) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on the International Table (IT) standards.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit, adapted for international standards to provide a consistent measurement of heat energy, particularly in engineering and thermodynamics contexts.
Current Use
The Btu (IT) is primarily used in the energy industry, including heating, cooling, and power generation, to quantify energy content and efficiency in systems adhering to international standards.
