How to convert Btu IT per hour to kilowatts
Mechanical horsepower is 550 foot-pounds-force per second. Metric horsepower uses 75 kilogram-force meters per second and has a different value.
Use x for the value in Btu IT/h, b for the intermediate value in W, and y for the result in kW.
kW = Btu IT/h × 0.2930710701722222 ÷ 1000
Worked examples
10 Btu IT/h ≈ 0.00293071070172 kW
Step 1: (10 × 0.293071070172) ≈ 2.93071070172 W.
Step 2: 2.93071070172 ÷ 1000 ≈ 0.00293071070172 kW.20 Btu IT/h ≈ 0.00586142140344 kW
Step 1: (20 × 0.293071070172) ≈ 5.86142140344 W.
Step 2: 5.86142140344 ÷ 1000 ≈ 0.00586142140344 kW.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
