Discover the ease of converting Ton-hour refrigeration to Gigawatt-hour with our TR to GWh tool, engineered by Newtum to ensure precise energy conversions.
A Ton-hour (TRh) is a unit of energy commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. It represents the amount of heat absorbed or released by one ton of water ice melting or freezing over the course of one hour. Specifically, one Ton-hour is equivalent to the energy required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice at 32°F (0°C) in 24 hours, which is approximately 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs).
Definition of Gigawatt-hourA Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing the amount of electricity produced or consumed at a rate of one billion watts over the duration of one hour. It is commonly used to measure the output of large power plants or the amount of energy used by a city over a certain period. One GWh is equivalent to 1,000 Megawatt-hours (MWh) or 1,000,000 Kilowatt-hours (kWh), making it a substantial measure of electrical energy.
| Ton-hour refrigeration (TRh) | Gigawatt-hour (GWh) |
|---|---|
| 1 TRh | 0.000003516 GWh |
| 10 TRh | 0.00003516 GWh |
| 100 TRh | 0.0003516 GWh |
| 500 TRh | 0.001758 GWh |
| 1000 TRh | 0.003516 GWh |
| 5000 TRh | 0.01758 GWh |
| 10000 TRh | 0.03516 GWh |
| 50000 TRh | 0.1758 GWh |
| 100000 TRh | 0.3516 GWh |
| 1000000 TRh | 3.516 GWh |
1 TRh = 0.000003516 GWh
1 GWh = 284,345.14 TRh
Example 1:
Convert 50 TRh to GWh:
50 TRh = 50 × 0.000003516 GWh = 0.0001758 GWh
Example 2:
Convert 1000 TRh to GWh:
1000 TRh = 1000 × 0.000003516 GWh = 0.003516 GWh
The concept of Ton-hour refrigeration to Gigawatt-hour conversion stems from the need to relate units used in industrial cooling systems (TRh) to those used in large-scale energy production and consumption (GWh). The conversion enables professionals to equate the cooling capacity of refrigeration systems with the energy output of power plants, thus facilitating a common language for energy measurement and management.
