Gigawatt-hour To Ton-hour Converter

Effortlessly Convert Energy from GWh to TR

Harness the simplicity of converting gigawatt-hours to ton-hours of refrigeration with Newtum's intuitive GWh to TR web tool - embark on a seamless conversion journey.

What are Gigawatt-hour and Ton-hour

A gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion (10^9) watt-hours. It's a large-scale measure typically used to quantify the generation or consumption of electricity by large entities such as countries or corporations. One GWh is equivalent to the energy output of a one gigawatt power plant running for one hour.

A ton-hour (TRh) is a unit of energy used in the heating and cooling industries. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2,000 pounds) of ice over a 24-hour period. This unit is commonly used to represent the capacity of air conditioning systems, with one ton-hour being equivalent to 12,000 BTUs.
