What is the btu - Heating & Cooling

not sure what you want so i will give a general answer.
tonnage is equal to BTU ...
so it you have a....
12000 BTU that's a 1 ton AC
24000 BTU that's a 2 ton AC
36000 BTU that's a 3 ton AC

and so on and so on just look on the tag for the BTU's

Features

• Cooling Capacity (BTU) : 6,000 BTU
• Maximum Cooling Amps : 5.6 Amps
• Maximum Cooling Watts : 618 Watts
• Heating Capacity (BTU) : 0 BTU
• Maximum Heating Amps : 0 Amps
• Energy Efficiency Rating : 9.7
• PTAC : No
• Window Type :Standard

Gas meters are usually rated in cubic feet per minute (CFM) not BTU. there are 1027 BTU per cubic foot so do the math. Try the link below Btu rating on natural gas meter

To convert KW to BTU use the following:
1KW= 3412.142 BTU/ hr

Hope this helps.

Hello
308 probably 3 1/2 tons.

divide your btu rating by 12000. (1 ton = 12000 btu)
For example - a 24,000 BTU Air Conditioner is a 2 ton unit. 24000 divided by 12000 = 2
A 18000 btu air condtioner is a 1 1/2 ton unit 18000 divided by 12000 = 1 1/2
you can find out your btu rating by looking on the tag on your unit.

Hi,
I found this explanation which I certainly couldn't improve on.

The British thermal unit (BTU or Btu) is a traditional unit of energy. It is approximately the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. One Btu is equal to about 1.06 kilojoules. It is used in the power, steam generation, heating and air conditioning industries. In scientific contexts the BTU has largely been replaced by the SI unit of energy, the joule (J), though it may be used as a measure of agricultural energy production (BTU/kg). It is still used 'unofficially' in metric English-speaking countries (such as Canada, the United Kingdom), and remains the standard unit of classification for air conditioning units manufactured and sold in many non-English-speaking metric countries.
In North America, the term "BTU" is used to describe the heat value (energy content) of fuels, and also to describe the power of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces, stoves, barbecue grills, and air conditioners. When used as a unit of power, BTU 'per hour' (BTU/h) is understood, though this is often abbreviated to just "BTU".

All heaters have a data plate. Often the model # is the BTU's. For example, H400 is a 400,000 BTU output. The plate is on the inner firewall. All heater have different BTU's.

That air handler can accamodate different size coils. Look for the coil model number. Also you can look at the outdoor unit model number they should be matched up. There is generally a set of 2-3 numbers in the model numbers that will tell you. xxx036xxx is 36,000 btu. tonnage is 12,000 btu per ton so 36,000 btu's would be 3 tons. xxx040xxx= 40,000btu's or 3.5 tons etc.

The 16.4 oz propane bottle contains 1.02 pounds of propane.
1.02 lbs propane equals 16.320 oz
16.320 oz equals 22.032 BTU’s.
The RMC-8001SS has two settings, maximum and minimum
The Max setting is rated at 8,000 BTU hour.
22.032 divided by 8,000 equals 2.754 or 2-3/4 hours
The Min setting is rated at 4,500 BTU hour.
22.032 divided by 4,500 equals 4.896 or 4.8 hours

One 16.4 ounce bottle will burn 22.032 BTU’s @8,000 BTU’s per hour for a period of approximately 2-3/4 hours and @ 4,500 BTU’s per hour for a period of approximately 4.8 hours.
