About These Units
Horsepower (Mechanical) (hp)
Mechanical horsepower (hp) equals 745.7 watts or 550 foot-pounds per second. Horsepower rates car engines (average car: 150-300 hp), boat motors, and industrial equipment. Defined by James Watt based on horse-powered mill work. One hp can lift 550 pounds one foot in one second.
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.
