Can you have 2 heaters with different watts give the same BTu's example of heaters-both 13650BTu 1240 volt radiator with settings for 600 900 1500 watts or a 24000watt 240 volt fan forced electic?

no you can not it would ruin your system for good. You have to get a heaters with the same watts


What size BTU natural gas heater should you buy for a 30'x50'x24' work shop?

Typically, use 5 * the volume in cubic feet to get BTU/hour for natural gas heaters. For this shop, that works out to 180,000 BTU/hr. Lower ceilings would make a big difference here...


How many BTU's are needed to heat 280000gal of water?

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?


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.


How does the btu scale work?

Rough estimate is that one btu is enough energy to change the temperature of one pint of water, one degree over a period of one hour.

What is the energy output of the best water heaters?

The top of the line residential on demand water heaters can run between 7 and 9 gallons per minute at 199,900 BTU. All water heaters perform roughly the same job-- they raise the incoming water approximately 30 degrees C at a rate sufficient to support at minimum 2.5 gallons of water being used per minute. This is about 16,600 BTU.

How many Btu are required to change 600 pounds of water at 75 degrees F to steam at 212 degrees F?

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


What is the difference in cost for heating water with an electric water versus a propane water heater?

When you compare the cost of propane and electricity, the cost of propane is lower than that of electricity. This is because whereas propane is a primary source, electricity is a secondary source.
