One horsepower (hp) is approximately equal to 2,545 British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. Conversely, one BTU per hour is roughly equal to 0.000393 horsepower. This conversion is useful in comparing energy output and efficiency across different systems.
To convert BTUs to horsepower (hp), you can use the conversion factor that 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 2545 BTUs per hour. Therefore, 30,000 BTUs is roughly equivalent to about 11.8 horsepower (30,000 BTU ÷ 2545 BTU/hp ≈ 11.8 hp).
1hp = 2544 Btu
12,000 Btu is 4.7hp
400hp is 1,017,773 Btu
33,475 btu's in a boiler horse power
10000Btu is 3.93hp
To convert horsepower (hp) to British thermal units (BTU), you can use the conversion factor that 1 hp is approximately equal to 2,545 BTU per hour. Therefore, 2 hp would be equivalent to about 5,090 BTU per hour.
1 Btu/hour [I.T.] = 0.000 393 014 779 53 horsepower [international] 1 Btu/hour [I.T.] = 0.000 392 856 662 2 horsepower [electric] 1 Btu/hour [I.T.] = 0.000 398 465 762 18 horsepower [metric] 1 Btu/hour [I.T.] = 0.000 392 834 018 95 horsepower [water]
1 HP = 2446 btu/hr and 1 kWh=3413 btu/hr so 1kWh = 1.413 HP, thus 45kWh x 1.413 = 63.585 HP.
1 Therm is equal to 100,000 BTU.
1 kW is equal to about 3,412.14 BTU/hour.
A 9,000 BTU split air conditioner typically has a cooling capacity of about 2.6 kW. To convert this to horsepower, you can use the conversion factor where 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 0.746 kW. Therefore, 2.6 kW is roughly equivalent to about 3.5 horsepower. However, it's important to note that air conditioners are usually rated in BTUs rather than horsepower, so this is a general estimate.
