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.
Calorie (Nutritional)
A calorie (Cal) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of energy provided by food and beverages, specifically representing the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie was first introduced in the 19th century as a unit to quantify energy in nutrition. It has since become a standard measure in dietary and nutritional contexts, although the scientific community often prefers the joule as the SI unit of energy.
Current Use
Calories are widely used in nutrition to quantify the energy content of food and beverages, helping consumers manage dietary intake and energy balance. The term 'Calorie' with a capital 'C' typically refers to kilocalories (kcal), which are equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
