What does 1 MBtu (IT)/hour represent?

It is a power unit representing 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) delivered per hour, used for measuring the rate of heat transfer.

How is MBH used in heating equipment?

MBH indicates heat output or input rates in HVAC systems, boilers, and heating devices, with 1 MBH equal to 1,000 BTU per hour.

Why is it important to distinguish MBtu/h from MBH?

Because MBH is 1,000 times smaller, confusing the two can result in significant errors in heating capacity and energy management calculations.
