Ton of refrigeration or ton of air conditioner. Air conditioning Btu is a unit use to measure quantity of heat energy and ton of refrigeration is a measurement unit use to size air conditioner unit or refrigeration units. The terms ton of refrigeration goes back went they used ice as the source to remove heat.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Similarities and differences between heat and temperature are: 1. Heat can change the state of particles; for example, if the substance is ice and you add heat, it would melt the ice to water.Temperature does not do this.2.Heat is the transfer of energy from particles of a warmer object to the particles of a cooler object..

Â· just now. 1  Heat is related to temperature by a few things, specific heat, mass and phase. 2  Heat is an extensive variable of state, meaning that for a given volume of material there is a total amount of heat available in it. 3  Heat is a measure of energy in a substance and temperature is a property of the substance. The temperature of a substance is directly proportional to it's heat energy unless there is a change of phase (ie a change between solid, liquid, or gas) in which case it isn't.
