There are no BTUs in an office water-cooler. But you can calculate how many BTUs are removed by the cooler. One BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. There for when you remove one BTU you are lowering one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. So if you know how many pounds of water you have and the temperature of the water you start with and the temperature of the water comming out of the cooler you can calculate how many BTUs the cooling unit of the water cooler has removed.

BTU=Temp1 - Temp 2 X LB water

How many tons is 15000 btu?

To convert BTUs to tons, you can use the conversion factor that 1 ton of cooling is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. Therefore, to find out how many tons 15,000 BTUs represents, you divide 15,000 by 12,000. This calculation shows that 15,000 BTUs is approximately 1.25 tons.

How many hp for 18000 btu?

To convert BTUs to horsepower, you can use the conversion factor that 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 2,545 BTUs per hour. Therefore, for 18,000 BTUs, the calculation would be 18,000 BTUs ÷ 2,545 BTUs/hp, which equals about 7.07 horsepower. So, you would need approximately 7.1 hp to provide 18,000 BTUs of cooling or heating.
