What are Ton-hour refrigeration and Megaton

Ton-hour refrigeration (TRh) is a unit of energy representing the amount of heat absorbed by one ton of ice causing it to melt over a period of one hour. It is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry to quantify the cooling capacity of systems, with one TRh equivalent to the energy required to melt one ton of ice in an hour, approximately 12,000 BTUs.

A Megaton is a unit of energy typically used to describe the explosive energy of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by the detonation of one million tons of TNT. In non-military contexts, Megaton can also refer to amounts of energy in other fields, such as asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions, quantifying their destructive potential in terms familiar from atomic bomb yields.

History of Ton-hour refrigeration and Megaton

A brief history of the Ton-hour refrigeration to Megaton Converter traces back to the need for converting refrigeration capacity into a unit of energy familiar in nuclear physics. As refrigeration technology advanced, the need for standardizing and comparing energy values led to the creation of conversion tools like this one, bridging the gap between industrial cooling and large-scale energy output measurements.
