How may tons is 12000 Btu's?

In refrigeration the cooling capacity may be expressed in BTUs/hr or tons of refrigeration. One refrigeration ton is equal to 12000 BTUs per hour. This equivalency comes from the comparison of the energy required to melt one tom of ice in 24 hours and the energy in the number of BTUs/hr to achieve the same transfer of energy.


How do you compute natural gas consumption related to BTU?

There are about 1030 BTUs in a cubic foot of natural gas. If one wishes to know the gas consumption (in feet3 per hour) for a given BTU per hour usage rate, one would divide the amount of BTUs by 1030. That would yield the number of cubic feet of gas that is used per hour. Q: I'm heating a space using 10,300 BTUs per hour and I'm using my natural gas heater to do it. How many cubic feet of gas am I using per hour? A: 10,300 BTUs (the heat generated per hour) divided by 1030 (the number of BTUs per cubic foot of gas) equals 10 cubic feet. You're using 10 cubic feet per hour. You apply 10,300 BTUs to heat the space per hour, and you use 10 cubic feet of gas per hour to do that. (And yes, I picked easy numbers.)

How many btu per hour would be produced in a 12-kW electrical heater?

There are at least 5 different definitions for slightly different BTUs. One of them says that 1 kWh = 3412.14 BTUs. Let's use that one. 1 kWh = 3412.14 BTUs 12 kWh = 40,945.68 BTUs

How many amps 2300 btu 240 volts?

Assuming we are talking about 2300 BTU per hour, take 2300 and divide by the number of BTUs per watt-hour, 3.414, giving 673 watts. Then divide this by the voltage, 240, giving 2.81 amps.


What does mbh mean in gas heating boilers?

MBH [ thousands of BTUs per hour] is an expression for the rate of energy consumption or production: M is for thousands, B is for Btu's (Brittish Thermal Units) and H is "per hour" . ie: 860,000 Btu's per hour = 860 MBH
