What does Btu (IT)/hour measure?

Btu (IT)/hour indicates the rate of heat transfer in British thermal units per hour, commonly used in HVAC and heating system contexts.

What is a millijoule/second?

A millijoule/second (mJ/s) is a power unit equal to one thousandth of a joule per second, used mainly for measuring low-power energy transfer.

Why convert Btu (IT)/hour to millijoule/second?

This conversion helps compare larger heat transfer rates with fine-scale power units, facilitating analysis in both HVAC equipment and low-power electronic devices.
