What are Ton and Pound-foot/minute

Definition of Ton

A ton in refrigeration terms refers to the amount of heat absorbed by one ton of ice causing it to melt over a 24-hour period. This is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. Originating from the late 19th century when ice was a primary means of refrigeration, this measurement standardizes cooling capacity. In modern contexts, understanding this measure is critical for evaluating air conditioning and refrigeration systems’ efficiency, ensuring they meet the necessary requirements for various industrial and domestic applications.

Definition of Pound-foot/minute

Pound-foot per minute is a unit of power that describes the rate of work done when one pound-force is applied over a distance of one foot in one minute. This unit is essential for understanding mechanical power in systems where rotational or linear forces are present. It simplifies the calculation of power output in engines and other machinery, making it easier to evaluate performance. By converting energy into this tangible unit, engineers and technicians can effectively design and analyze mechanical systems, ensuring they operate efficiently under various conditions.
