About the Ton Of Refrigeration

Facts & Uses

  • Industry-standard cooling power unit for refrigeration and air conditioning.
  • 1 TR = 12,000 Btu/h = 3.5168525 kW.
  • Used globally to rate chillers, cooling towers, and A/C systems.

Curiosities

  • Originates from the heat needed to freeze one short ton (2000 lb) of water in 24 hours.
  • 1 ton of cooling ≈ 3.5 kW, roughly equal to a medium home A/C system.

About the Watt

Facts & Uses

  • Named after James Watt, inventor of the improved steam engine.
  • Core SI unit for power — rate of energy transfer per second.
  • Used universally in physics, electronics, and engineering.

Curiosities

  • A human at rest emits about 100 W of heat.
  • Modern LED lamps use 5–15 W with similar brightness to 60–100 W incandescent bulbs.
