About These Units
BTU per Hour (BTU/h)
BTU per hour (BTU/h or BTUH) measures heating and cooling capacity. Air conditioners are rated in BTU/h (window unit: 5,000-12,000 BTU/h, central AC: 24,000-60,000 BTU/h). Furnaces range from 40,000-200,000 BTU/h. One BTU/h equals 0.293 watts.
Calorie per Second (cal/s)
Calories per second (cal/s) measures heat flow rate, equal to 4.184 watts. Used in calorimetry, chemical reactions, and thermal analysis. One calorie per second equals the power needed to heat 1 gram of water by 1°C each second.
