What does kilowatt-second measure?

Kilowatt-second measures energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power applied for one second, equal to one kilojoule.

What is a ton-hour (refrigeration)?

A ton-hour (refrigeration) represents the cooling energy produced by one refrigeration ton operating for one hour, approximately 12,000 BTUs.

Why convert kilowatt-seconds to ton-hours (refrigeration)?

Converting helps relate short-duration electrical energy pulses to refrigeration cooling energy terms useful in engineering and energy budgeting.

Common Use Cases

Translating short-duration electrical energy pulses for refrigeration system analysis.
Sizing and reporting cooling energy removed by commercial chillers or HVAC equipment.
Estimating energy removal in cold storage, refrigerated transport, or supermarket refrigeration.
Relating electrical energy to thermal energy requirements in refrigeration applications.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter for transient or short energy pulses rather than continuous loads.
Consider the one-hour basis of ton-hour (refrigeration) when interpreting results.
Apply conversion outputs for engineering calculations and energy budgeting with context.
Be mindful of unit system differences and rounding during precise analyses.

Limitations

Kilowatt-second measures short energy pulses and may not represent steady refrigeration loads.
Ton-hour (refrigeration) assumes a constant cooling load for one hour, which may differ in variable conditions.
Conversions involve approximations between unit systems, so exact precision can vary.
