What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, used to quantify thermal energy flow.

What is horsepower (boiler)?

Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of thermal power reflecting the heat required to evaporate a set amount of water per hour, commonly used to specify steam boiler capacity.

Why convert from Btu (th)/second to horsepower (boiler)?

Conversion allows users to express thermal power in terms of boiler capacity units, facilitating specification and comparison of steam-generation equipment.
