Unit Description

BTU per Minute (BTU/min)

Definition

BTU per minute (BTU/min) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per minute. It provides an intermediate scale between BTU per second and BTU per hour for thermal power measurements.

History

BTU per minute developed as an intermediate unit for thermal power measurements, providing a convenient scale between the very large BTU per second and the smaller BTU per hour. It became useful for medium-scale thermal applications and equipment ratings.

Current Use

BTU per minute is used in thermal equipment specifications, heating and cooling system ratings, and medium-scale thermal applications. It's found in thermal equipment ratings, industrial heating systems, and applications requiring intermediate thermal power scales.

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.

Conversion Examples

Convert 1 BTU per Minute to BTU per Hour

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/min = 60 BTU/hr
  2. Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = BTU/min × 60
  3. Calculation: 1 BTU/min × 60 = 60 BTU/hr

Convert 10 BTU per Minute to BTU per Hour

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/min = 60 BTU/hr
  2. Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = BTU/min × 60
  3. Calculation: 10 BTU/min × 60 = 600 BTU/hr

Convert 100 BTU per Minute to BTU per Hour

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/min = 60 BTU/hr
  2. Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = BTU/min × 60
  3. Calculation: 100 BTU/min × 60 = 6,000 BTU/hr

Convert 1,000 BTU per Minute to BTU per Hour

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/min = 60 BTU/hr
  2. Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = BTU/min × 60
  3. Calculation: 1,000 BTU/min × 60 = 60,000 BTU/hr
