Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Kilowatts to the units of BTU/hr.
Enter the input Kilowatts value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Kilowatts into BTU/hr in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the BTU/hr label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, BTU/hr value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting BTU/hr 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 Kilowatts to BTU/hr is:
Substitute given Power(Kilowatts) = 1 in the above formula.
Power(BTU/hr) = (1 × 1e3)/0.29307107
Power(BTU/hr) = 3412.1416
Therefore, 1 kW is equal to 3412.1416 BTU/hr.

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.
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.
