How to convert kilowatts to Btu IT per hour
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 kW, b for the intermediate value in W, and y for the result in Btu IT/h.
Btu IT/h = kW × 1000 ÷ 0.2930710701722222
Worked examples
10 kW ≈ 34121.4163313 Btu IT/h
Step 1: (10 × 1000) ≈ 10000 W.
Step 2: 10000 ÷ 0.293071070172 ≈ 34121.4163313 Btu IT/h.20 kW ≈ 68242.8326626 Btu IT/h
Step 1: (20 × 1000) ≈ 20000 W.
Step 2: 20000 ÷ 0.293071070172 ≈ 68242.8326626 Btu IT/h.
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.
About Kilowatts
Kilowatts (kW) measures power under the conventions above. The base value in W is (x × 1000), where x is the numerical value in kW. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
