What does one ton-hour (refrigeration) represent?

It represents the cooling effect of one refrigeration ton sustained for one hour, equivalent to 12,000 BTU or about 12.66 MJ.

What is a megaelectron-volt (MeV)?

A megaelectron-volt is a unit of energy equal to one million electronvolts, used to quantify energies at atomic and subatomic levels.

Why convert from ton-hour (refrigeration) to MeV?
