What are Ton-hour and BTU

A Ton-hour (ton-h) is a unit of energy representing the heat required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice over a period of one hour. This historical measure is based on the large amount of energy needed for the phase change from ice to water.

A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at sea level. It's a traditional unit of heat in the imperial system, widely used in the United States.

History of Ton-hour and BTU
