144btus per pound in 1 hour
Ratings are per hour. Divide 10,000 by 60 minutes per hour.
7.5 kW equates to 25,591 BTU/hour.
1 kW is equal to about 3,412.14 BTU/hour.
3,413 btu in a KW HR
You do not mention how much you want to heat the water and in what period of time. But here are the figures: 1 btu = temperature increase of 1* F of 1 pound of water. One gallon of water weighs 8.33 lbs. So a boiler with an output rating of 2,332,400 btu will raise the temperature 1*F in 1 hour. (280,000x 8.33). Boiler outputs are rated in btu per hour . how many btu does it take to heat 15lb of water from 100 degrees F to 129 degrees F?
One btu will heat a pound of water about one degree Fahrenheit in one hour.
1 kW.hr. = 3412.14 Btu. so 14 kW.hr. = 47,770 Btu.
1 cal/day*0.003968321 Btu/cal *1day/24hr = 0.003968321/24 = 0.000165347 Btu/hr
1kW is 3,412.13 BTU/hr
12,000 BTU/hr
1 BTU is required to raise 1lb of water 1 degree F in 1 hour. 212-75=137 degrees 600 lbs water x 137 degrees= 82,200 BTU's required to change 75 degree water to 212 degree water. To change 212 degree water to 212 degree steam it requires 970 btu's (latent heat of vaporization) per lb of water 970 btu x 600 lbs water = 582,000 btu Answer - 582,000 btu+ 82,200 btu = 664,200 btu's
