Power
Convert BTU per hour (BTU/hr) to kilowatt (kW). Power is energy per unit time — the rating of pumps, compressors, motors, and heat duties.
1 BTU/hr = 0.0002930711 kW
To convert BTU per hour to kilowatt, multiply the BTU/hr value by 0.0002930711. To go the other way, divide by 0.0002930711 (or multiply by 3412.142).
| BTU/hr | kW |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.0002930711 |
| 2 | 0.0005861421 |
| 5 | 0.001465355 |
| 10 | 0.002930711 |
| 25 | 0.007326777 |
| 50 | 0.01465355 |
| 100 | 0.02930711 |
| 250 | 0.07326777 |
| 500 | 0.1465355 |
| 1000 | 0.2930711 |
Rotating-equipment duties are quoted in kW or hp; heat duties in kW, MW, or BTU/hr.
Electrical input, shaft power, and hydraulic power differ by the efficiencies between them — label which one a number refers to.
Worked example. A power of 341214.2 BTU/hr is 100 kW.
Multiply the value in BTU/hr by 0.0002930711 to get kW. For example, 10 BTU/hr = 0.002930711 kW.
1 BTU/hr equals 0.0002930711 kW.
Rotating-equipment duties are quoted in kW or hp; heat duties in kW, MW, or BTU/hr.
