Methodology
Adicot, Inc.'s online calculator convert kw to hp, BTU/h, tons. Quickly and accurately convert units with just a few clicks. The calculator also offers a wide range of units, including kW, HP, BTU/h, tons, and more.
Our Power Unit converter calculator is an efficient and effective solution. Whether you're working in the HVAC industry, engineering, or any other field that requires frequent unit conversions, our calculator can help you save time and improve accuracy.
The basis of the conversions are 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
