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.
Gigaton
A gigaton (Gton) is a unit of mass equal to one billion metric tons or 10^9 metric tons.
History/Origin
The gigaton has been used in scientific and environmental contexts to quantify large-scale phenomena such as greenhouse gas emissions and ice mass changes, gaining prominence in climate science discussions since the late 20th century.
Current Use
Currently, the gigaton is used to measure and communicate large quantities of emissions, such as annual carbon dioxide emissions from countries or sectors, and to assess changes in global ice mass and other large-scale environmental metrics.
