Convert kiloelectron-volt to ton-hour (refrigeration)
Please provide values below to convert kiloelectron-volt [keV] to ton-hour (refrigeration) [ton*h], or Convert ton-hour (refrigeration) to kiloelectron-volt.
How to Convert Kiloelectron-Volt to Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
1 keV = 1.26547537270183e-23 ton*h
Example: convert 15 keV to ton*h:
15 keV = 15 × 1.26547537270183e-23 ton*h = 1.89821305905275e-22 ton*h

Kiloelectron-Volt
A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts, commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing energies at the atomic scale, with the prefix 'kilo' added later to denote 1,000 electron-volts, especially in high-energy physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
The keV is widely used today in fields such as X-ray spectroscopy, astrophysics, and particle physics to quantify energies of particles, photons, and nuclear processes.
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
