What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour measures power as 1,000 British thermal units per hour, used mainly for heat transfer rates in HVAC and industrial systems.

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to centiwatt?

This conversion helps compare large-scale heat transfer powers to ultra-low-power electronics and sensor outputs in energy research.

Are these units used together in typical designs?

Because they represent vastly different power magnitudes, the conversion is mostly for comparative or analytical purposes rather than direct engineering design.
