What is a kilojoule used to measure?

A kilojoule (kJ) measures energy, commonly used to quantify work, heat, and reaction enthalpies in scientific, engineering, and nutritional contexts.

What does a ton-hour (refrigeration) represent?

A ton-hour (refrigeration) quantifies the cooling effect from removing 12,000 BTU per hour over one hour, used in refrigeration and air-conditioning energy calculations.

Can I use this conversion for any energy calculation?

No, this conversion is specific to cooling energy related to refrigeration systems and should be applied within that context.
