Ton-hour To Megajoule Converter

Efficiently Convert Ton-hour Refrigeration into Megajoules (MJ)

Simplify energy conversion with our Ton-hour refrigeration to Megajoule (MJ) tool, skillfully crafted by Newtum. Discover how easy it is to convert your cooling energy measurements into the widely-used MJ units.

What are Ton-hour and Megajoule

A Ton-hour is a unit of energy used in the United States to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning systems. One Ton-hour equates to the energy required to melt one ton of ice over a period of one hour, equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs).

A Megajoule (MJ) is a large unit of energy based on the metric system. It is equivalent to one million joules, the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). Megajoules are often used in discussions of large-scale energy production and consumption.

History of Ton-hour and Megajoule

A brief history of the Ton-hour to Megajoule conversion: Originating from different systems, the Ton-hour is rooted in refrigeration practices, while the Megajoule is a result of the metric system's energy measurements. The converter bridges these two by providing a seamless transition from cooling capacity to general energy terms.
