Understanding the Conversion

British Thermal Units per hour (BTU/hr) is a unit of thermal power, and Watts (W) is a unit of electrical power. This conversion is often used when sizing electrical equipment based on cooling needs.

  • 1 BTU/hr ≈ 0.293071 Watts
  • 1 Ton of Refrigeration = 12,000 BTU/hr ≈ 3,516.85 Watts

Formula Used:

Watts = BTU/hr × 0.293071
