Effortlessly convert Ton-hour refrigeration to Calorie th with our user-friendly TR to cal tool, designed by Newtum. Discover an efficient way to translate cooling capacity into energy units.
A ton-hour (TRh) is a unit of energy representing the amount of heat needed to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice in a 24-hour period. It is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry to measure cooling capacity. One ton-hour equates to the energy required to sustain a one-ton cooling effect for one hour.
Definition of CalorieA Calorie (with an uppercase 'C'), also known as a kilocalorie or food calorie, is a unit of energy commonly used in nutrition. It is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Calorie as a unit of energy is essential in understanding the energy content of foods and how much energy the body requires.
| Ton-hour (TRh) | Calorie th (cal) |
|---|---|
| 1 TRh | 3024 cal |
| 2 TRh | 6048 cal |
| 3 TRh | 9072 cal |
| 4 TRh | 12096 cal |
| 5 TRh | 15120 cal |
| 6 TRh | 18144 cal |
| 7 TRh | 21168 cal |
| 8 TRh | 24192 cal |
| 9 TRh | 27216 cal |
| 10 TRh | 30240 cal |
1 TRh = 3024 cal
1 cal = 0.000330693393 TRh
Example 1:
Convert 2 TRh to cal:
2 TRh = 2 × 3024 cal = 6048 cal
Example 2:
Convert 5 TRh to cal:
5 TRh = 5 × 3024 cal = 15120 cal
The concept of measuring refrigeration in ton-hours and its conversion to calories has roots in the early days of ice harvesting. It served as a standard to quantify the energy required to produce a cooling effect equivalent to the melting of a ton of ice in a 24-hour period.
Understanding the practical uses of our TR to cal converter can provide insights into its importance in various industries.
Example 1:
Convert 3 TRh to cal:
3 TRh = 3 × 3024 cal = 9072 cal
Example 2:
Convert 7 TRh to cal:
7 TRh = 7 × 3024 cal = 21168 cal
