Convert btu (it) per hour to watts
BTU (IT) per hour
The British thermal unit (IT) per hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power commonly used in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industries. One BTU (IT) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, and the IT (International Table) variant is standardized at exactly 1055.05585262 joules. Therefore, one BTU/h is approximately equal to 0.29307107 watts. It is the standard unit for expressing the cooling or heating capacity of air conditioners and furnaces in the United States.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
