Unit Description
BTU per Hour (BTU/hr)
Definition
BTU per hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per hour. It's widely used in HVAC applications and provides a practical scale for heating and cooling system ratings.
History
BTU per hour became the standard power unit for HVAC systems and thermal equipment. It provided an appropriate scale for heating and cooling applications, becoming universally adopted in the HVAC industry and building energy systems.
Current Use
BTU per hour is extensively used in HVAC systems, heating and cooling equipment ratings, building energy calculations, and thermal system specifications. It's standard for furnace ratings, air conditioner capacity, and building thermal load calculations.
Deciwatt (dW)
Definition
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one tenth of a watt (0.1 W). It represents very small power levels typically found in low-power electronic devices, sensors, and precision instruments.
History
The deciwatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing a convenient unit for small power measurements. It became useful for describing power consumption of low-power electronic devices and precision instruments.
Current Use
Deciwatts are used for low-power electronic devices, sensor specifications, and precision instruments. They're found in specifications for small sensors, low-power circuits, and electronic devices requiring minimal power consumption.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 BTU per Hour to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/hr = 2.93071 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/hr × 2.93071
- Calculation: 1 BTU/hr × 2.93071 = 2.93071 dW
Convert 10 BTU per Hour to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/hr = 2.93071 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/hr × 2.93071
- Calculation: 10 BTU/hr × 2.93071 = 29.3071 dW
Convert 100 BTU per Hour to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/hr = 2.93071 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/hr × 2.93071
- Calculation: 100 BTU/hr × 2.93071 = 293.071 dW
Convert 1,000 BTU per Hour to Deciwatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/hr = 2.93071 dW
- Conversion Formula: dW = BTU/hr × 2.93071
- Calculation: 1,000 BTU/hr × 2.93071 = 2,930.71 dW
