Kilocalorie (It)
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a measure of heat energy, primarily used in nutrition and thermodynamics. It became standard in dietary contexts to quantify food energy intake.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is widely used in nutrition to express the energy content of foods and beverages, and in scientific contexts related to energy measurement in biological and physical systems.
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.
