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.
Megawatts
A megawatt (MW) is equal to one million watts. This unit is often used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large-scale facilities. It is a standard unit in the field of energy generation and consumption.
