Discover the seamless conversion from ton-hour refrigeration to microjoules (µJ) with Newtum's intuitive tool. Experience precision and simplicity in every calculation.
A ton-hour is a unit of energy representing the cooling power of one ton of ice melting over an hour. This unit is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry to quantify the amount of heat absorbed over time. One ton-hour is equivalent to the energy needed to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice at 32°F (0°C) in 24 hours, which is approximately 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Units).
Definition of MicrojouleA microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one millionth of a joule. As a small measure of energy, it is commonly used in scientific contexts where precise energy measurements are required, such as in physics experiments or in the calibration of sensitive equipment. The microjoule helps in understanding and expressing energy values at a microscopic scale.

The concept of ton-hour refrigeration originated from the ice industry in the 19th century, where the cooling effect of a ton of ice melting over a 24-hour period was used as a benchmark for refrigeration equipment. With technology advancement, the ton-hour has evolved into a standard unit to measure refrigeration capacity. The conversion to microjoules represents the modern approach to energy quantification in scientific and engineering applications.
