Short background on the units used in this conversion.
BTU per hour (IT) measures thermal power — one BTU of heat energy delivered each hour, about 0.293 watts.
BTU/h sizes US air conditioners, furnaces, and water heaters alongside ton-of-refrigeration ratings.
One ton of refrigeration removes heat at 12,000 BTU/h (IT) — about 3,516.85 watts of cooling power.
Tons of refrigeration rate commercial HVAC chillers, walk-in coolers, and central air systems.
