Convert btus to kilowatts

A 5.5 KW draw needs a 5,500 kva generator. Think in thousands.

Many ACs are rated in watts or kilowatts these days. There is a simple formula to convert watts of cooling capacity to British Thermal Units.

a kilowatt = 1000 watts

This link will help

kilowatts , or hp.
the 2.0L is stated in all books, oper guide and FSm.
and varies by country, no country state, h3ll no one post here does, and goes sideways in most cases.....
ill now spec this for USA cars with USA smog, (yes, will be different in your country and your laws)
1999
hp: 127@6000
torque: 134@3000

both are Flywheel, no Rear wheel, SAE.ORG rules.(laws)
now ill convert that to EU KW

Look at your amps and multiply by volts. This will give you watts.


ex.motor label 115V/14.4A 230V/7.2A

Whether you are running on 115v or 230v you get 1,656 watts.
This converts to 1.656 KW (kilowatts)
Your power company charges you by the KW hour. I'll use
12 cents per kilowatt hour for example.

$0.12 x 1.656 = .1987
This rounds off to 20 cents per hour to run, so if you run the pump 6 hour a day,180 hours per month, the electrical cost would be
about $36 per month.

BTU means "British thermal units" and is a measurment of cooling and heating capacity. Other units are Kw "Kilowatts", and HP "Horse Power".

3412.1416 btus = 1 kilowatt , so it should have the btus near the serial number , but with no name or model number , thats all you can do

It depends on the (EER) Energy Efficiency Ratio,which is capacity divided by watts.
Example 35000 btus / 2500 watts = 14 EER
If you know the capacity,btus and EER you can calculate the watts, capacity / EER
Example 35000 btus / 14 EER = 2500 watts.

EER is determine by testing the air conditioner at Department of Energy Guidelines, which are
80° drybulb 67° wetbulb indoor and 95° and 82° drybulb outdoor.
