What are Mega Btu IT and Ton-hour

Mega British Thermal Unit (MBtu or MBTU) is a measure of energy. It represents one million BTUs (British Thermal Units), a unit of heat commonly used in the United States. The 'IT' stands for 'International Table', which is a standard for specifying energy content in heating and cooling applications. This standard ensures consistency and accuracy in energy measurement across different systems and is widely recognized in the energy sector.

A Ton-hour is a unit of energy commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning to describe the amount of heat absorbed or released. It is based on the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2,000 pounds) of ice in a 24-hour period. A ton-hour is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) and is a key measurement in calculating the efficiency of cooling systems, indicating how much heat is removed over a specific period.
