Effortlessly convert Calorie IT to Ton-hour refrigeration with our quick and accurate Cal to Ton-hr converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool sparks curiosity and simplifies your calculations.
A Calorie, specifically a Calorie with a capital 'C', which is also known as a kilocalorie (kcal), is a unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Originating from the Latin word 'calor' meaning heat, calories are commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy provided by foods and beverages.
Definition of Ton-hourA Ton-hour is a unit of energy commonly used in the heating and cooling industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice over a 24-hour period. This unit is a measure of the power of refrigeration systems, where one ton of refrigeration is equivalent to the heat absorption by one ton of ice causing it to melt entirely into water at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius in 24 hours.
| Calorie IT (cal) | Ton-hour refrigeration (ton-hr) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal | 3.4722e-7 ton-hr |
| 10 cal | 3.4722e-6 ton-hr |
| 100 cal | 3.4722e-5 ton-hr |
| 500 cal | 0.00017361 ton-hr |
| 1000 cal | 0.00034722 ton-hr |
| 5000 cal | 0.0017361 ton-hr |
| 10000 cal | 0.0034722 ton-hr |
| 50000 cal | 0.017361 ton-hr |
| 100000 cal | 0.034722 ton-hr |
| 500000 cal | 0.17361 ton-hr |
1 cal = 3.4722e-7 ton-hr
1 ton-hr = 2.877e+6 cal
Example 1:
Convert 25000 cal to ton-hr:
25000 cal = 25000 × 3.4722e-7 ton-hr = 0.0086805 ton-hr
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 ton-hr to cal:
0.5 ton-hr = 0.5 × 2.877e+6 cal = 1,438,500 cal
A brief history of the Calorie IT to Ton-hour refrigeration Converter begins with the establishment of each unit. The Calorie was first defined in the 19th century as a unit of heat energy, while the concept of a ton of refrigeration originated in the early 20th century with the advent of industrial refrigeration. The need for a conversion between these units arose from their use in different contexts, leading to the creation of tools like this converter.
Discover how the Calorie IT to Ton-hour refrigeration Converter revolutionizes energy management in various real-life applications.
Example 1:
Convert 150,000 cal to ton-hr:
150,000 cal = 150,000 × 3.4722e-7 ton-hr = 0.052083 ton-hr
Example 2:
Convert 2 ton-hr to cal:
2 ton-hr = 2 × 2.877e+6 cal = 5,754,000 cal
