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.
Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
