What does Btu (th)/second represent?

It is a power unit measuring the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, used in HVAC and energy systems.

Why convert to Btu (IT)/minute?

Converting to Btu (IT)/minute allows expressing heat transfer rates in a different British thermal unit standard and time scale, useful in engineering and HVAC contexts.

Are there any limitations to this conversion?

Yes, due to differences in Btu definitions and time scale changes, the conversion may cause minor discrepancies and assumes steady-state heat flow.
