What are Ton-hour and Pound-force inch

A ton-hour is a unit of energy commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice over a period of one hour. Equivalently, it can be defined as the energy needed to maintain one ton of cooling capacity for one hour.

A pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force applied at a distance of one inch from a pivot point. It is a measure of how much force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The pound-force inch is widely used in engineering and physics to quantify the moment of forces.
