British Thermal Unit. Does that help? Actually, the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water, one degree F. In A/C terms it is generally BTUH with the H indicating "per hour." A/C terms are generally associated with a time frame.

Fact about British Thermal Unit?
The British Thermal Unit, or BTU, is used as a measure of power for heating and air conditioning industries. BTU is also used to measure steam power and agricultural energy production.
What does BTHhr mean?
I think you may mean BTU/hr. BTU means British Thermal Unit which is defined as the heat to raise 1 lb of water by 1 degF, so BTU/hr would mean so many BTU's per hour, which is a rate of energy flow. Home heating boilers are often rated in BTU/hr though they may more recently be rated in Kilowatts. 100,000 BTU/hr = 29.3 Kw.
What is an air conditioner capacitor measured by?
There are two measures used to describe the cooling capacity of an air conditioner. One is BTU or 'British Thermal Unit' but that is the old way of doing it. The modern way is the Kw or Kilowatt of cooling. to get BTU you have to multiply Kw by 3412. A small air conditioner for maybe one person in a little office might be 9000 BTU or 2.6 kW, a large industrial air conditioner for a bigger area might be 35,000 BTU or 10.26 kW.

What does central air size mean?
The size of a central air conditioner is a measure of its' cooling capacity. It is given in tons of air conditioning. A ton of air conditioning is equal to the abilty of the unit to remove 12000 btu of heat per hour.
Are MBH and BTU the same?
BTU means" british thermal unit " and is a measure of energy like kWh or Joules. BTU is often used in air conditioning. Btuh or btu/hr is a measure of power like kW and is also used in air conditioning and heating applications. Often "btu" will be used in a lazy shorthand for btu/hr. MBH is shorthand for 1000 btu/hr.
What is a BTU rating?
If measuring heat, a BTU measures the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to 1º Fahrenheit. In terms of air conditioning, the BTU determines the amount of heat the unit can remove from the room. As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the unit.
