Explanation

Formula: BTU per hour = Kilowatts × 3,412.141635. Why: BTU per hour is a thermal power rate with a fixed watt equivalent, so the route converts through watts and preserves one deterministic factor.

Kilowatts (kW): a power unit equal to 1,000 watts, common for appliances, EV chargers, motors, and electrical system ratings.

BTU per hour (BTU/h): a thermal power rate used in HVAC and heat-transfer contexts, tied to a fixed watt equivalent.

This route is useful when translating thermal power values between BTU/h and watt-based electrical or mechanical scales in HVAC, heating, and equipment specifications.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through watts using fixed power definitions with no offset.
