What does 1 kiloelectron-volt (keV) represent?

It is an energy unit equivalent to 1,000 electronvolts, commonly used in atomic, nuclear, and radiation physics to express particle and photon energies.

What does a ton-hour (refrigeration) measure?

It measures the amount of heat removed by refrigeration or air-conditioning systems over one hour, based on one refrigeration ton's heat removal rate.

Why is conversion between keV and ton-hour (refrigeration) useful?

It connects energies at the microscopic scale with large-scale thermal energy removal, which is valuable in fields combining physical particle energies with HVAC and refrigeration applications.
