What is a therm used for?

A therm is a unit of energy mainly used to measure natural gas consumption and heating energy.

What does a ton-hour (refrigeration) represent?

It represents the energy removed by refrigeration systems, equivalent to one refrigeration ton sustained for one hour.

Why convert therm to ton-hour (refrigeration)?

Converting shows the equivalent cooling energy from natural gas heating energy, useful for energy management and HVAC design.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms energy values measured in therms, a unit commonly used for natural gas, into ton-hour (refrigeration), which measures cooling energy from refrigeration or air-conditioning systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the energy value in therm in the input field.
Select therm as the 'From' unit and ton-hour (refrigeration) as the 'To' unit.
Click convert to get the equivalent energy value in ton-hour (refrigeration).

Key Features

Converts natural gas energy units (therm) to refrigeration cooling energy units (ton-hour).
Browser-based and simple to use for quick energy conversions.
Supports utility billing, HVAC design, and refrigeration energy management needs.

Examples

2 Therm × 8.3333344974 = 16.666669 Ton-hour (refrigeration)
0.5 Therm × 8.3333344974 = 4.166667 Ton-hour (refrigeration)

Common Use Cases

Translating natural gas heating energy into cooling energy for energy management.
Sizing and reporting energy removed by commercial chillers and HVAC systems.
Specifying thermal energy storage capacity in ton-hours for load shifting.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the context of energy use matches the unit types for accurate interpretation.
Use this conversion for utility billing, HVAC system design, and refrigeration engineering.
Keep in mind variations in therm’s joule equivalence depending on regional standards.

Limitations

Therm's exact joule value can vary slightly due to different BTU definitions and conditions.
Ton-hour (refrigeration) is only applicable to cooling energy contexts, not heating.
