ton-hour To kilowatt-second Converter

Effortlessly Convert TRh to kW·s with Our Precise Tool

Discover the ease of converting Ton-hour refrigeration to Kilowatt-seconds with our user-friendly TRh to kW·s converter, designed for accurate and quick calculations.

What are ton-hour and kilowatt-second

A ton-hour (TRh) is a unit of energy used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice in a 24-hour period. This unit is commonly used to measure the capacity of large-scale cooling systems, encompassing the energy needed to maintain or lower temperatures.

A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power expended for one second. This unit is a measure of energy in the International System of Units, reflecting the work done or heat generated when one thousand watts of power operates for the duration of one second.

History of ton-hour and kilowatt-second

The conversion of Ton-hour refrigeration to Kilowatt-second is rooted in the need to relate traditional refrigeration units to the SI system of energy measurement. This conversion makes it simpler for engineers and technicians to plan, analyze, and compare energy systems across different units and standards.
