  2. Ton of refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_of_refrigeration

    It was originally defined as the rate of heat transfer that results in the freezing or melting of 1 short ton (2,000 lb; 907 kg) of pure ice at 0 °C (32 °F) in 24 hours. [1] [2] The modern definition is exactly 12,000 Btu IT /h (3.516853 kW). Air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment capacity in the U.S. is often specified in "tons" (of ...

  3. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_energy_efficiency...

    Air-conditioner sizes are often given as "tons" of cooling, where 1 ton of cooling equals 12,000 BTU/h (3.5 kW). 1 ton of cooling equals the amount of power that needs to be applied continuously over a 24-hour period to melt 1 ton of ice. The annual cost of electric energy consumed by an air conditioner may be calculated as follows:

  4. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    The SI unit of power for heating and cooling systems is the watt. Btu per hour (Btu/h) is sometimes used in North America and the United Kingdom - the latter for air conditioning mainly, though "Btu/h" is sometimes abbreviated to just "Btu". [18] MBH—thousands of Btu per hour—is also common. [19] 1 W is approximately 3.412142 Btu/h [20]

  5. Therm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therm

    The therm (symbol, thm) is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU), [1] and approximately 105 megajoules, 29.3 kilowatt-hours, 25,200 kilocalories and 25.2 thermies. One therm is the energy content of approximately 100 cubic feet (2.83 cubic metres) of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure. However ...

  6. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

    This was the first sensible value for the temperature of the Sun. Before this, values ranging from as low as 1800 °C to as high as 13 000 000 °C [25] were claimed. The lower value of 1800 °C was determined by Claude Pouillet (1790–1868) in 1838 using the Dulong–Petit law.

  7. Power plant efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_plant_efficiency

    For example, if the heat rate is 10,500 Btu/kWh, the efficiency is 32.5% (since 3,412 Btu / 10,500 Btu = 32.5%). The higher the heat rate (i.e. the more energy input that is required to produce one unit of electric output), the lower the efficiency of the power plant.
