Joule/hour
A joule per hour (J/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy (in joules) transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The joule per hour has been used as a measure of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over longer periods. It is derived from the SI unit of energy, the joule, divided by time in hours.
Current Use
Joule per hour is occasionally used in fields like heating, energy consumption, and industrial processes to quantify power over extended durations, though it is less common than watts for standard power measurements.
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.
