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.


Kilowatt

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.

History/Origin

The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.

Current Use

The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
