What are Ton and Horsepower

Definition of Ton

A Ton, in refrigeration, is a unit of power. It’s defined as the heat extraction rate required to freeze 2000 pounds of water at 0°C in 24 hours, equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. This unit is pivotal in the HVAC industry, enabling the measurement and comparison of cooling capacities across different systems. Understanding tons helps professionals specify the right equipment for efficient cooling solutions, ensuring optimal environmental control in various applications.

Definition of Horsepower

Horsepower is a unit of power originally intended to quantify the output of engines and motors. One horsepower equates to 746 watts or 550 foot-pounds per second. This unit is commonly used in various industries to express the power of engines, motors, and other machinery. Understanding horsepower allows engineers and technicians to compare different machines' capabilities, ensuring the right fit for specific tasks or projects that require particular power outputs.
