Horsepower (HP)
Primarily used in the automotive and mechanical engineering fields to measure the power of engines and motors.
Watts (W) / Kilowatts (kW)
The SI unit of power, universally used for electrical systems, appliances, and increasingly for Electric Vehicles (EVs).
BTU (British Thermal Units)
Commonly used in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) to measure the heat output of furnaces or the cooling capacity of ACs.
Refrigeration Ton (RT)
Used to describe the extraction of heat in large cooling systems like commercial chillers. 1 Ton = 12,000 BTU/h.
Therm & Quad
Units of heat energy used for large-scale energy consumption. Therms are common for natural gas billing, while Quads are used for national/global energy statistics.
