What does MBH measure?

MBH measures power as 1,000 British thermal units per hour, commonly used to express heat output in HVAC systems.

Why convert MBH to calorie (th)/second?

Converting MBH to calorie (th)/second helps translate heating system ratings into thermochemical calorie units used in laboratory calorimetry and legacy engineering references.

Is calorie (th)/second an SI unit?

No, calorie (th)/second is not an SI unit but measures power based on thermochemical calories per second, useful in specific scientific and historical contexts.
