What are Ton-hour and Kilocalorie

Definition of Ton-hour

A Ton-hour (th) is a unit of energy. It represents the amount of cooling provided by one ton of ice melting over the duration of an hour. This term is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries to measure the capacity or power of cooling systems. One Ton-hour equals approximately 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTU).

Definition of Kilocalorie

A Kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used in measuring the calorific, heating, or metabolic value of foods. It is also known as a large calorie and is equivalent to 1,000 small calories (cal). In scientific contexts, the Kilocalorie is used to represent the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure.
