Methodology
Adicot, Inc.'s online calculator convert kw to hp, BTU/h, tons. Quickly converts units with just a few clicks. The calculator also offers a wide range of units, including kW, HP, BTU/h, tons, and more.
The basis of the conversions is as follows:
1 kW = 3412.142 BTU/hr
1 kW = 2,655,224 foot pound-force/hour
1 kW = 1.34 mechanical horsepower (hp)
1 kW = 3.41 MBH
1 kW = 0.28 ton (refrigeration)
1 kW = 1,000 W
Example 1:
Convert 3.5 Tons (refrigeration) to horsepower:
5 Tons x 1kW / 0.28 Tons x 1.34 hp / 1kW = 23.58 hp
Example 2:
Convert 5kW to Btu/h:
5kW x 3412.142 Btu/h / 1kW = 17,061 Btu/h
Example 3:
Convert 1000 hp to kw:
1000 hp x 1kW / 1.34 hp = 746 kW
