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.
Gigajoule
A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billion joules, used to measure large amounts of energy such as in power generation and fuel consumption.
History/Origin
The gigajoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standard measure for large-scale energy quantities, especially in scientific and industrial contexts, gaining prominence in the 20th century.
Current Use
Gigajoules are commonly used today to quantify energy in fields like energy production, consumption, and engineering, particularly for large-scale systems such as power plants, fuel storage, and energy audits.
