What are Ton-hour and Horsepower-hour

Definition of Ton-hour

A ton-hour (TH) is a unit of energy representing the cooling power of one ton of ice melting over the course of an hour. This term is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry and is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. Ton-hours measure the cumulative energy necessary to melt the ice or provide cooling over time.

Definition of Horsepower-hour

Horsepower-hour (hp-h) is a unit of work or energy. It is the amount of work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. Since one horsepower is equal to 745.7 watts, a horsepower-hour represents 745.7 watt-hours or 2,685.5 kilojoules. This unit is commonly used in the context of engines and the energy they produce over time.
