What does one ton-hour (refrigeration) represent?

It is the cooling effect produced by a refrigeration ton removing heat at 12,000 BTU per hour sustained for one hour, quantifying refrigeration energy.

Why convert ton-hour (refrigeration) to kilogram-force centimeter?

To relate large-scale thermal energy involved in refrigeration to mechanical work units used in certain engineering fields for comparison or analysis.

Is kilogram-force centimeter an SI unit?

No, kilogram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit often found in older engineering literature and suited for small mechanical work.
