BTU/hr to KW Conversion

BTU/hr to KW Conversion

It is a conversion calculator that is used to convert the power in BTU per hour (BTU/hr.) to power in Kilowatts (kW). The first step of using this converter is to enter the value of BTU per hour in the blank text field. It has a ‘Convert' button which performs the conversion from BTU/hr. to Kilowatts. Click this button to display the Kilowatt result below the two controls at the bottom panel of the calculator. It gives you accurate results based on the input values in the blank text field.

Use the ‘Reset' button if you want to execute new calculations. It erases everything from the calculator to give more space for other conversions.

Example;

Convert 20000 BTU/hr to power in Kilowatts

Solution

First, enter the BTU/hr. value into the blank text field. Click the ‘Convert' button to initiate the conversion. The results in Kilowatts will be displayed as; 5.8614207732 kW.

You will repeat the same procedure when using new values in BTU/hr. The efficiency of this calculator is enhanced by the ‘Reset' button since you erase previous data with a single click.

Formula for converting BTU/hr to kW

1 BTU/hr = 0.000293071077 kW. This means that one BTU per hour is equivalent to 0.000293071077 Kilowatts.

Therefore, the power conversion of BTU to kW is given by;

P (kW) = P (BTU/hr) / 3412.142. To determine the power in Kilowatts, we divide the power in BTU per hour by 3412.142.

Using the example above;

Convert 20000 BTU/hr to power in Kilowatts

The calculation will be;

P (kW) = 20,000 BTU/hr / 3412.142

= 5.8614207732 Kilowatts (kW)

The BTU/hr to Kilowatts conversion table can also be used to determine the conversion of common values from BTU per hour to Kilowatts based on a scale of 1 BTU/hr to 10000 BTU/ hr.
