Converting from British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) to British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s) | Power

What is British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h)

British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power that measures the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit in an hour. It is commonly used to rate the heating and cooling capacity of air conditioning and heating systems.

What is British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s)

British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s) is another unit of power that measures energy transfer rate. It indicates the amount of energy transferred or used in one second. This unit is useful in determining the rate at which heating or cooling systems work.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between BTU/h and BTU/s can be calculated using the following formulas:

1. To convert BTU/h to BTU/s:

   BTU/s=3600BTU/h​

2. To convert BTU/s to BTU/h:

   BTU/h=BTU/s×3600

Examples

• When converting 7 BTU/h to BTU/s: 7 BTU/h=0.001944444 BTU/s

• When converting 11 BTU/s to BTU/h: 11 BTU/s=39600 BTU/h

• When converting 12 BTU/h to BTU/s: 12 BTU/h=0.003333333 BTU/s
