What are Ton-hour and Gigajoule

A ton-hour (TRh) is a unit of energy commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice over a 24-hour period. This unit is often used in the context of refrigeration or air conditioning systems to measure the energy output or cooling capacity over time.

A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one billion joules. It is commonly used to measure large quantities of energy, especially in the context of electricity generation, heating, and large industrial processes. One gigajoule represents a significant amount of energy, equivalent to the output of a standard power plant for a short period.

History of Ton-hour and Gigajoule

The concept of ton-hour refrigeration dates back to the early days of artificial cooling systems. Its conversion to gigajoules represents a modern necessity for standardizing energy units across different domains, facilitating easier comparison and energy management in various industries.
