What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer in thermal energy units delivered every second, commonly used in HVAC and energy systems.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to gigajoule/second?

To compare or scale thermal power rates into large-scale SI units for easier integration with industrial and scientific data.

Can this converter handle variable power levels?

The tool is best suited for continuous, steady-state power values and may not account fully for transient or fluctuating powers.
