Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of BTU/hr to the units of Kilowatts.
Enter the input BTU/hr value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given BTU/hr into Kilowatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Kilowatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Kilowatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Kilowatts value using the Copy button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
Formula
The formula to convert given power from BTU/hr to Kilowatts is:
Substitute given Power(BTU/hr) = 85000 in the above formula.
Power(Kilowatts) = (85000 × 0.29307107) / 1e3
Power(Kilowatts) = 24.911
Therefore, 85000 BTU/hr is equal to 24.911 kW.

BTU/hr
The British Thermal Unit per hour (BTU/hr) is a unit of power used to describe the rate of heat energy transfer. One BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. When expressed as BTU per hour, it indicates the amount of heat energy transferred per hour. This unit is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to specify the cooling or heating capacity of an appliance. It is also used in the context of power generation and thermal energy production.
Kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
