What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered per second, used for heat power in heating and cooling systems.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to megawatts?

The conversion helps translate thermal power values into megawatts for comparing HVAC or heating system outputs with large-scale electrical power capacities.

Can this tool convert all power types?

No, this converter specifically measures thermal power in Btu (th)/second to electrical power in megawatts and doesn’t account for mechanical power directly.
