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.
Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
