Description

Understanding Ton of Refrigeration (TR)

The ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of power used primarily in North America to describe the cooling capacity of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It is defined as the amount of heat required to melt one short ton (2,000 pounds) of ice at 0°C (32°F) in 24 hours.

This unit originates from the days when ice was used for cooling, and it has persisted as a standard measure in the HVAC industry. One ton of refrigeration is equivalent to 12,000 BTU/h or approximately 3.51685 kilowatts.

Understanding this unit is crucial for HVAC professionals, engineers, and facility managers, as it allows for the accurate sizing and assessment of cooling systems to ensure they meet the thermal load requirements of a space.

When selecting or evaluating cooling equipment, considering the tonnage helps in determining the system's capability to maintain desired temperature levels efficiently.

BTU per Hour (BTU/h): A Measure of Heat Transfer Rate

The British Thermal Unit per hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power that quantifies the rate of heat transfer. One BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. When expressed per hour, it indicates how much heat energy is transferred in that time frame.

In terms of power, 1 BTU/h is approximately equal to 0.29307107 watts. This unit is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to specify the heating or cooling capacity of equipment.

For instance, an air conditioner rated at 10,000 BTU/h can remove that amount of heat from a space in one hour. Understanding BTU/h ratings helps consumers and professionals assess the suitability of HVAC systems for specific applications.
