What is a gram-force meter [gf*m]?

A gram-force meter is a unit of work or energy equal to the work done by a force of one gram-force acting through a distance of one meter; it is a non-SI unit based on standard gravity.

What does ton-hour (refrigeration) measure?

Ton-hour (refrigeration) quantifies the amount of heat removed by refrigeration or air-conditioning systems over one hour, based on the cooling effect of one refrigeration ton.

Why convert gram-force meters to ton-hour (refrigeration)?

Converting helps translate small mechanical energy values into large-scale refrigeration energy units, facilitating analysis and system reporting in HVAC and refrigeration contexts.
