Ton of refrigeration Length Weight and Mass

Volume Temperature
Definition: A ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of power. It is defined as the power Area Pressure
required to melt or freeze 2000 pounds, also known as one short ton, of ice per day.
Energy Power
The ton is more often a unit of mass. A ton of refrigeration is approximately equal to
12,000 BTU/h or 3.5 kW. Force Time

History/origin: The ton of refrigeration originated around the 1880s during the Speed Angle
transition from stored natural ice to mechanical refrigeration. It became an industry Fuel Consumption Numbers
standard in 1903 when Thomas Shipley pushed for the formation of an industry
Data Storage Volume - Dry
association as well as for standardization of a number of equipment specifications. This
eventually led to the founding of the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers in Currency Case
1904.
Engineering Converters
Current use: The ton of refrigeration is mostly used in North America, specifically
within the context of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. It is often displayed Heat Converters

British thermal unit per hour
Electricity Converters
Definition: The British thermal unit per hour (symbol: Btu/h) is a United States Magnetism Converters
customary system unit of power. This unit is often abbreviated as simply "Btu," which is
the same abbreviation used for British thermal units, a measurement of heat. One watt, Radiology Converters
the International System of Units derived unit of power, is equal to approximately
3.41214 Btu/h. Common Unit Systems

History/origin: The British thermal unit per hour is based on the British thermal unit
(symbol: Btu or BTU), a traditional United States customary unit of heat, where heat is
a type of energy transfer in which energy moves from a hotter to a colder substance.
The BTU is specifically defined as the amount of heat required to increase the
temperature of one pound of water by one °F. It has a number of different definitions all
of which equate to approximately 1,055 joules.
Current use: The British thermal unit per hour is not a widely used unit. Multiples of the
watt hour, often the kilowatt hour, are more frequently used than Btu/h, even in the
United States.
