What are Ton-hour and Therm

Definition of Ton-hour

A ton-hour is a unit of energy that represents the cooling capacity of one ton of ice melting over the course of an hour. It is commonly used in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries to measure the amount of heat energy absorbed. One ton-hour is equivalent to the energy needed to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) in 24 hours, or 12,000 BTU/h.

Definition of Therm

A Therm (EC) is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the heating and energy sectors, especially concerning natural gas and its energy content. One Therm is approximately equal to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). In the European context, the Therm (EC) is often used as a standardized measure for billing and comparison of energy consumption, where EC stands for 'European Community'.
