USEFUL HVAC CONVERSION MEASURES:

• 1 HP= 0.746 KW = 746 Watts = 2,545 BTU/h = 1.0 kVA
• 1 KW= 1,000 Watts = 3,413 BTU/h = 1.341 HP
• 1 Watt = 3.413 BTU/h
• 1 Ton Ac = 12,000 BTU/h Cooling = 15,000 BTU/h Heat Rejection
• 1 BTU/h = 1 BTU per hour
• 1 BHP = 34,500 BTU/h (33,472 BTU/h) = 34.5 Lb. Steam per hour = 34.5 Lb. H2O/Hr. = 0.069 GPM = 4.14
