The answer depends on many things....
A btu is a british thermal unit, which is the measure of energy to raise one CC of water one degree Celcius.
But you probably want to know about airflow in cfm (not water), and the amount of cooling (or heating) available in 1 cfm or airflow.
In Houston, we tend to cool things more than heat. We also try to drive moisture out of the air (dehumidify), but I won't discuss that now. The general equation to answer your question is like this: Qsens = cfm * 1.08 * (Tin - Tout) <-- "delta T"
You need to determine what your "delta T" is. For cooling a space to 75degF, your dT is usually 20degF with your supply air temperature (SA=55) and your return air temperature (RA=75). This has been idealized and simplified. For cooling, 1cfm will do about 21.6btu/h of cooling. For heating, (SA=90, RA=68, 1cfm => 23.76btu/h)
To convert BTU (British Thermal Units) to CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), you need to know the specific heat of the material being heated or cooled. The formula to convert is: CFM = (BTU/hr) / ((Temperature rise in °F) x (Specific heat of material)).
I'm not sure and will have to research this, but let me kick it off by writing Btus/hr = CFM X 1.08 X temperature rise. Hopefully, others will weigh in and contribute further to this answer. (Since I supervise Units and Unit Conversions, I would like to admonish people to use the units Btus/hr, not just Btus, when referring to power.)
To convert watts to BTUs (British Thermal Units), you can use the formula: 1 watt is approximately equal to 3.412 BTUs per hour. So, if you have a certain number of watts, you can multiply that by 3.412 to convert it to BTUs per hour.
It takes approximately 970 BTUs to convert one pound of water at 212°F (100°C) to steam at the same temperature.
To change 10 pounds of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to supply enough energy to first melt the ice, then heat the water to the boiling point, and finally convert it to steam. This process requires approximately 180 BTUs per pound of ice to melt it, 180 BTUs per pound of water to heat it to the boiling point, and then 970 BTUs per pound of water to convert it to steam. So, for 10 pounds of ice, the total BTUs required would be around 18,300 BTUs.
To convert BTU (British Thermal Units) to CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), you need to know the specific heat of the material being heated or cooled. The formula to convert is: CFM = (BTU/hr) / ((Temperature rise in °F) x (Specific heat of material)).
To convert cmh to cfm ..... divide cmh by 1.7 to convert into cfm....
To calculate BTUs from CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and wet bulb temperatures, you can use the formula: BTUs = CFM × 4.5 × (Wb1 - Wb2), where Wb1 is the wet bulb temperature entering the system and Wb2 is the wet bulb temperature exiting the system. This formula accounts for the energy required to change the moisture content of the air. Be sure to convert temperatures to the same unit (usually Fahrenheit) before applying the formula.
Tr = cfm/400
I'm not sure and will have to research this, but let me kick it off by writing Btus/hr = CFM X 1.08 X temperature rise. Hopefully, others will weigh in and contribute further to this answer. (Since I supervise Units and Unit Conversions, I would like to admonish people to use the units Btus/hr, not just Btus, when referring to power.)
divide by 60
To convert watts to BTUs (British Thermal Units), you can use the formula: 1 watt is approximately equal to 3.412 BTUs per hour. So, if you have a certain number of watts, you can multiply that by 3.412 to convert it to BTUs per hour.
1,000 cfm (feet3/min) is 0.4719474 m3/sec.
To convert cfm (cubic feet per minute) to kW (kilowatts), you first need to know the efficiency of the system. Once you have the efficiency, you can use this formula: kW = (cfm x pressure x efficiency) / 229. upheld wp-admin css where pressure is in psi.
2.22kW converts to 7,574.955 BTU/hr
BTU x 0.000293 = kW-h
To convert BTUs to tons, you can use the conversion factor that 1 ton of cooling is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. Therefore, 18,000 BTUs divided by 12,000 BTUs per ton equals 1.5 tons. So, 18,000 BTUs is equivalent to 1.5 tons of cooling capacity.
