What are Kilowatt-second and Ton-hour

A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to the power of one kilowatt working for one second. It is a measure of energy that reflects the work done or the heat generated by a one-kilowatt power source operating for one second. This unit is often used in various applications, from physics to engineering, where precise energy measurements are required.

A ton-hour (ton·hr) of refrigeration is a unit of energy widely used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice over a period of 24 hours. This unit measures the energy efficiency of refrigeration and air conditioning systems, typically used to describe the cooling capacity of such systems.

History of Kilowatt-second and Ton-hour

The Kilowatt-second to Ton-hour refrigeration Converter has its roots in the historical evolution of energy measurement units. The adoption of kW·s became common with the rise of electrical engineering, while ton·hr originated in the refrigeration industry to express cooling capacity. Over time, the need for precise energy conversion has led to the creation of tools like this converter to facilitate easy interchange between these units.
