Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
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.
