Unit Description
Decawatt (daW)
Definition
A decawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to ten watts (10¹ W). It represents small power levels typically found in low-power appliances, electronic devices, and small electrical systems.
History
The decawatt developed as part of the metric system's decimal structure, providing a convenient intermediate unit between watts and smaller power measurements. It became useful for describing power consumption of small electronic devices and low-power systems.
Current Use
Decawatts are used for low-power appliance ratings, electronic device specifications, and small electrical systems. They're found in specifications for small electronic devices, LED lighting, and low-power electrical equipment.
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 Decawatt to BTU per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 34.1214 BTU/hr
- Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = daW × 34.1214
- Calculation: 1 daW × 34.1214 = 34.1214 BTU/hr
Convert 10 Decawatt to BTU per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 34.1214 BTU/hr
- Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = daW × 34.1214
- Calculation: 10 daW × 34.1214 = 341.214 BTU/hr
Convert 100 Decawatt to BTU per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 34.1214 BTU/hr
- Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = daW × 34.1214
- Calculation: 100 daW × 34.1214 = 3,412.14 BTU/hr
Convert 1,000 Decawatt to BTU per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 daW = 34.1214 BTU/hr
- Conversion Formula: BTU/hr = daW × 34.1214
- Calculation: 1,000 daW × 34.1214 = 34,121.4 BTU/hr
