btu/h watts formula

The BTU per Hour to Watts Calculator is used to convert between BTU/h (British Thermal Units per hour) and watts (W), two of the more common power units in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and electrical and thermal engineering. the change is as follows: 1 Btu/ h = 0.29307107 W and vice versa 1 W = 3.412141633 Btu/h. This is necessary in cases calling for comparison of the U.S. customary HVAC capacity rating to SI-related electrical or mechanical power ratings. Engineers, technicians and homeowners find it handy to verify the heater or air conditioner specs, estimating power requirement or air conditioner efficiency. The equation is easy to solve, the figures accurate and the calculator fine-tuned to produce precise or correct answers without having to go manual computing.
