A hectowatt (hW) is a power unit equal to 100 watts, used to measure energy transfer or conversion rates.

How is Btu (th)/minute used in power measurement?

Btu (th)/minute represents the rate of thermal energy flow and is commonly used to express heating or cooling capacities.

Why convert from hectowatt to Btu (th)/minute?

Converting helps translate electrical power measurements into thermal energy transfer rates for applications like HVAC and industrial heating.
