how does watts convert to BTU`s my elec heater is 1000 watts what is the BTU ??

Answer 1

You can't directly convert BTU to Watt. BTU is a measure of energy, Watt of power. A power applied for a period of time is energy. Or energy per period of time is power.

1000 Watt is 0.949 BTU per second, or 3416 BTU/hour.

Answer 2

A Watt (W) is defined as Joules by second (J/s)
The Brittish Termal Unit (BTU) is an energy unit like the Joule (J)
so we can convert between them.

1 BTU = 1056 J

if we use BTU, the time unit more used is hours (h) instead of seconds (s) (SI Unit)

so 1 J/s is need to convert to BTU/h

1 W = 1 J x 1 BTU x 60 s x 60 min = 3600 = 3.41 BTU
s 1056 J 1 min 1 h 1056 h

So the conversion factor is 1W=3,41BTU/h

finally 1000W x 3,41 BTU/h = 3410 BTU/h
1 W

so 1000W = 3410 BTU/h means 3410 BTU of energy transfer each hour by your electric heater

Answer 3

BTU is British Thermal Units. Watts x 3.41= BTU/hour. 1000 watts =3410 BTU/hour.

Answer 4

When BTU is used as a unit of power , it means A
British Thermal Unit per hour.

A Watt is a unit of power.

The BTU per hour (BTU/h) is the unit of power most commonly associated with the BTU.

* 1 watt is approximately 3.41 BTU/h

So 1000 watts of power is approximately

3410 BTU's per hour.

Answer 5

To convert watts to BTU/hour multiply watta 3.413.
So 1000 watts = 3,413 BTU/hour

Answer 6

BTU means british thermal units.

Answer 7

They are two different units. 'watts' is the unit used for power, whereas 'BTU' is the unit used for energy.
