There are 3.966 BTU in a kilocalorie (kcal), and 1 kcal raises 1 kg of water 1 degree C, but to work through it:

1 BTU raises 1 pound of water 1 degree F, and 1 kg = 2.20 pounds, therefore:

2.20 BTU raises 1 kg of water 1 degree F, and 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg (basically), therefore:

2.20 BTU raises 1 litre of water 1 degree F, and a 1 degree change in F equals 5/9 degree C, therefore:

2.20 BTU raises 1 litre of water 5/9 degree C, therefore:

3.96 BTU raises 1 litre of water 1 degree C.
