BTU is a measure of energy, while a kilowatt is a measure of power. Energy is power times time.

Energy: measured in BTU or kilowatt-hours

Power: measured in BTU/hour or kilowatts.

100,000 BTU equals about 29 kWh so a 1 kW heater produces about 3400 BTU per hour.

How much heat would a 5kW heater produce in Btus per hour?

To convert from kilowatts (kW) to British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour, multiply by 3412. Therefore, a 5kW heater would produce 5 * 3412 = 17060 BTU per hour.


How do you determine the Btus in your electric hot water heater?

A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit (F) at or near 39.2 degrees F and 1 atmosphere of pressure. Electric heaters are rated in KW, not BTU's 3413 BTU's = 1 KW-hr. Check the link below for a PDF on water heater sizing.


How many BTUs does it take to raise the temperature in a 40 gallon water heater 60 degrees F?

To calculate the BTUs needed to raise the temperature of a 40-gallon water heater by 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: BTUs = gallons × temperature rise × 8.34. For a 40-gallon heater, it would be 40 gallons × 60°F × 8.34 BTU/gallon°F, resulting in approximately 20,016 BTUs. Therefore, it takes about 20,016 BTUs to achieve that temperature increase.
