What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, often used to express heating or cooling capacity.

Where is pferdestarke (PS) commonly used?

Pferdestarke is a metric horsepower unit primarily used in Germany and some other European countries for engine and equipment power ratings.

Can I directly compare Btu (th)/minute to pferdestarke (ps)?

Since these units represent different physical quantities—thermal versus mechanical power—direct comparison may be limited depending on application context.

Common Use Cases

Specifying heating capacity in HVAC systems using familiar power units
Expressing engine power specifications in automotive markets of German-speaking regions
Converting thermal power ratings to mechanical power for comparing equipment performance

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you understand whether thermal or mechanical power units apply to your context
Use this conversion for steady-state power comparisons rather than transient measurements
Be mindful that pferdestarke (PS) is a regional unit and not standard in all markets

Limitations

Units measure different types of power: thermal versus mechanical, which limits direct equivalence
Pferdestarke (PS) is not an SI unit and may be less recognized outside certain regions
Conversion assumes continuous power flow, so transient or peak powers require extra analysis
