Converting BTU to Electrical Watts
Converting BTU to Electrical Watts
(OP)
Hi,
Is there any rule of thumb on how can I convert the BTU to electrical watts (actual power consumption) and not converting it to heat load.
Hope that any Expert could assist me on this issue.

If you know the SEER rating, you can use that to get the average consumption.
At the minimum, you know that the BTU/hr is the minimum power consumed.

1 BTU/hr =300000 kgf litre/hectare/s
cos that's metric innit? It makes so much more sense

The only way to go is SI. I know it is a big change for those used to feet and pounds and it takes a long time to get a "feel" for magnitudes in the new units. But I have yet to hear from anyone who has made the change and is keen to go back.

Ever wonder why they didn't make it so that one cubic meter was one liter, one liter of water was one gram, etc?
