Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
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.
