Ton-hour refrigeration To kiloliter Converter

Effortlessly Convert THR to kL with Precision - Brought to You by Newtum

Newtum's THR to kL converter transforms ton-hour refrigeration units into fuel oil equivalent kiloliters, simplifying energy comparisons for professionals.

What are Ton-hour refrigeration and kiloliter

A ton-hour refrigeration (THR) is a unit of energy that represents the amount of heat absorbed by one ton of ice causing it to melt over the period of one hour. Specifically, one THR is equivalent to the energy needed to melt 2,000 pounds (approximately 907.185 kilograms) of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C in a 24-hour period. This measurement is commonly used in the refrigeration industry to quantify the cooling energy delivered by HVAC systems.

A kiloliter is a unit of volume in the metric system equivalent to one thousand liters. It is used to measure large quantities of liquid or gases. One kiloliter is equal to 1 cubic meter or 264.172 US gallons. In terms of fuel, water, or other liquids, the kiloliter provides a substantial measurement that reflects the volume one would typically find in industrial storage tanks, large fuel transports, or municipal water systems.

History of Ton-hour refrigeration and kiloliter

The Ton-hour refrigeration to Fuel Oil Equivalent kiloliter Converter is rooted in the historical need to equate the energy output of refrigeration systems with the energy content in fuel oil. This comparison allows for a better understanding of energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness in various applications, such as HVAC systems and industrial cooling processes.
