what is btu/h unit for?is it how much the air discharge from air cond?

Question

btu is related with air cond system which is unit for the air cond according to the british standard. but, what exactly the value of btu/h in the function of air cond system?

Answer 1

BTU is British Thermal Unit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btu, hence is a measure of energy. BTUH stands for BTU/Hr, and energy per unit time is a measure of power. The BTUH rating of an airconditioner (A/C) tells you how much cooling capacity the A/C can produce.



Generally, it takes an A/C with about 12,000 BTUH per 500 sq. ft. of living space to be comfortable in Southern California.:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

Answer 2

A btu (british thermal unit) is an energy unit. Btu/h in air conditionioning would be a measure of the amount of heat tranferred or energy consumption (metric equivilant would be the kilowatt).

Answer 3

btu/h is energy over time, which is the same as power. So its the power rating of the air conditioning system more then likely

Answer 4

Its a Name given to a unit of heat required to raise a gram of water 1 deg C.... in ac conditioning it takes 12000 btu/h to make a ton...and thats jjust another way of naming the unit of energy...so a 3 ton unit is 36000 btu...when you become familiar with the operation of unit interchange its very easy to work with. here is a link with tons(get it) of info

Answer 5

I think it would because it is partly using some of the car's energy. Try going up Genting with your aircond switch on and off. Sure you can tell a different.
