It would take approximately 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice in 24 hours. This is based on the heat of fusion of ice, which is 144 BTU per pound.

How many BTU-hr are required to melt 1 ton of ice in 1 hr?

To melt 1 ton (2000 pounds) of ice, it would require approximately 288,000 BTU/hr of energy. This is because it takes 144 BTU to melt one pound of ice, and 2000 pounds x 144 BTU = 288,000 BTU.


How many BTU's per hour is in 1 ton of refrigeration?

Does dirt melt ice?

Dirt does not melt ice. In fact, dirt can insulate ice, preventing it from melting quickly by forming a barrier between the ice and warmer temperatures. The dark color of dirt can also absorb sunlight and heat, causing the ice to melt more slowly.


Does one ton of ice equal 12000 btu?

The latent heat of fusion for ice is 144 BTU/lb. For one ton, that is 2000 lb x 144 BTU/lb, or 288,000 BTU. Refrigeration's roots are in the ice making industry, and the ice guys wanted to convert this into ice production. If 288,000 BTU are required to make one ton of ice, divide this by 24 hours to get 12,000 BTU/Hr required to make one ton of ice in one day.
