What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour measures power as the rate of heat transfer, where one MBtu corresponds to 1,000 British thermal units per hour.

A dekawatt is a metric unit of power equal to 10 watts, used to represent power transfer or work done per unit time.

Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to dekawatt?

This conversion is useful to express large heat transfer rates in terms of smaller, metric power units relevant for electrical devices and engineering applications.
