Unit Definitions
What is a Ton of Refrigeration (TR)?
A Ton of Refrigeration (TR) is a unit used to measure cooling capacity. It represents the amount of heat absorbed by one ton of ice melting in a 24-hour period.
History
The Ton of Refrigeration originated from the refrigeration industry to quantify cooling needs. Historically, it was based on the cooling effect of melting ice, which was a common refrigerant before modern systems.
Current Use
Today, TR is widely used in HVAC applications and commercial refrigeration systems to specify the cooling capacity required for various environments.

A Gigawatt (GW) is a unit of power equal to one billion watts. It is commonly used to express the output of large power plants or the energy consumption of large facilities.
History
The term Gigawatt was created to describe large-scale power generation and consumption, especially with the rise of electrical grids in the 20th century. It helps quantify energy in a manageable form for utilities and consumers.
Current Use
Gigawatts are used to measure the capacity of power plants and the electricity consumption of cities, making it essential for energy planning and infrastructure development.
