What are Ton-hour and Kilowatt-hour

A ton-hour (TRh) is a unit of energy commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice over a period of 24 hours. This unit is a measure of refrigeration effect, equivalent to the heat of fusion of one ton of ice, which is approximately 286,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs).

A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a measure of electrical energy equivalent to the power consumption of one kilowatt over the period of one hour. It is a standard unit of energy used by electricity companies to determine the amount of energy a household or business consumes. The kWh represents the amount of work done or energy converted when a 1,000-watt appliance runs for an hour.
