Discover the ease of converting ton-hour refrigeration to inch-pound with our precise tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter sparks curiosity and ensures accurate results.
A ton-hour is a unit of energy representing the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice in a 24-hour period. It is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry to measure the capacity of cooling systems. One ton-hour equals to 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit).
Definition of Inch-poundAn inch-pound (in-lb) is a unit of torque representing the force applied at a distance of one inch from a pivot point. It is a measurement used in engineering and mechanics to quantify rotational force. One inch-pound is equivalent to the torque resulting from a one pound-force applied perpendicularly to a one-inch long moment arm.
| Ton-hour (refrigeration) | Inch-pound |
|---|---|
| 0.1 | 8640 |
| 0.5 | 43200 |
Example 1:
Convert 1 ton-hour refrigeration to inch-pounds:
1 ton-hour = 86,400 inch-pounds
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 ton-hours refrigeration to inch-pounds:
2.5 ton-hours = 216,000 inch-pounds
A brief history of the ton-hour refrigeration to inch-pound converter traces back to the need for a standardized method of converting between units of refrigeration capacity and work or energy. This conversion has been essential for engineers and technicians in the HVAC industry to properly design and size cooling systems.
Understanding the practical uses of the Ton-hour refrigeration to Inch-pound Converter illuminates its value in real-world applications.
Example 1:
To convert 3 ton-hours of refrigeration to inch-pounds:
3 ton-hours = 3 × 86,400 inch-pounds = 259,200 inch-pounds
Example 2:
To convert 0.75 ton-hours of refrigeration to inch-pounds:
0.75 ton-hours = 0.75 × 86,400 inch-pounds = 64,800 inch-pounds
