A ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of power used in refrigeration engineering to describe the amount of heat absorbed by the melting of one ton of ice over 24 hours. It is equivalent to approximately 3.517 kilowatts. This unit emerged during the industrial era when large quantities of ice were used to provide cooling. With advancements in technology, the ton of refrigeration became a standardized measure, providing a clear understanding of the cooling capacity of air conditioning systems and refrigeration units.
Definition of Hectojoule/secondA hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), representing energy transfer. It denotes the amount of energy, in hectojoules, transferred per second. One hectojoule equals 100 joules, making this unit useful for expressing moderate power levels in scientific calculations. The hJ/s unit provides a standardized method to describe energy flow rates, assisting engineers and scientists in understanding and analyzing energy systems more effectively, particularly when dealing with heat transfer or other energy exchange processes.
Ton (refrigeration) | Hectojoule/second (hJ/s) |
---|---|
0.1 TR | 35.2 hJ/s |
0.5 TR | 176 hJ/s |
1 TR | 352 hJ/s |
1.5 TR | 528 hJ/s |
2 TR | 704 hJ/s |
2.5 TR | 880 hJ/s |
3 TR | 1056 hJ/s |
3.5 TR | 1232 hJ/s |
4 TR | 1408 hJ/s |
5 TR | 1760 hJ/s |
1 TR = 352 hJ/s
1 hJ/s = 0.00284 TR
Example 1:
Convert 5 TR to hJ/s:
5 TR = 5 × 352 hJ/s = 1760 hJ/s
Example 2:
Convert 3.5 TR to hJ/s:
3.5 TR = 3.5 × 352 hJ/s = 1232 hJ/s
The conversion from Ton (refrigeration) to Hectojoule/second traces its roots back to the industrial era when a standardized unit was necessary for measuring large-scale cooling capacities. Initially, a ton of refrigeration described the power needed to melt one ton of ice in 24 hours. As technology evolved, the need arose to express these units in terms of energy transfer rates, leading to the adoption of the SI unit hectojoule/second. This conversion now aids engineers and scientists in accurately analyzing energy systems.
