About These Units
Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)
Kilocalories per hour (kcal/h) measures metabolic rate and heat production, equal to 1.163 watts. Basal metabolic rate is about 60-80 kcal/h. Exercise increases metabolic rate to 300-900 kcal/h depending on intensity. Also called "large calories per hour."
Ton of Refrigeration (TR)
A ton of refrigeration (TR or RT) equals 12,000 BTU/h or 3.517 kW—the cooling power of melting one ton of ice in 24 hours. Tons rate commercial air conditioning systems, chillers, and industrial cooling. Home central AC is typically 2-5 tons.
