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.
Kilojoule per Hour (kJ/h)
Definition
Kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilojoule per hour. It provides a convenient scale for moderate power measurements in energy system analysis and thermal applications.
History
Kilojoule per hour developed as a practical unit for energy system analysis and thermal calculations. It provided an appropriate scale for describing power in terms of energy per time, particularly useful in heating and cooling system analysis.
Current Use
Kilojoule per hour is used in energy system analysis, thermal calculations, and heating/cooling applications. It's found in energy efficiency calculations, thermal system design, and applications where energy rates are more intuitive than electrical power units.
