What are Ton and Hectowatt

Definition of Ton

A Ton in refrigeration terms refers to the amount of heat extracted to freeze one ton (2,000 pounds) of water at 32°F in 24 hours. Historically linked to the ice-making industry, it equals 12,000 BTU per hour. As a measure of cooling capacity, it is commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems to indicate their efficiency in heat removal.

Definition of Hectowatt

A Hectowatt is a unit of power equivalent to 100 watts. It serves as a metric measure representing a moderate level of power consumption or production. In various applications, especially in electrical and mechanical contexts, the hectowatt allows for a convenient representation of power levels that fall between the smaller watt and larger kilowatt units, providing clarity in energy management.
