Term BHP kWh
Description
Boiler Horsepower
1 BHP = 33,476 BTUh; 1 BHP = 33.476 MBh
Kilowatt-hours Horsepower
1 kWh = 3,413 BTU 1 hp = 0.746 kW kW/ton = 12 / EER
hp
kW/ton kW/ton
Kilowatt per ton of cooling Kilowatt per ton of cooling Coefficient of Performance Coefficient of Performance Energy Efficiency Ratio Energy Efficiency Ratio
kW/ton = 12 / (COP x 3.413)
COP COP EER EER
COP = EER / 3.413
COP = 12 / (kW/ton x 3.413)
EER = 12 / kW/ton EER = COP x 3.413 1 Ton = 12,000 BTUh 1 MBh = 1,000 BTUh
Ton
Unit of capacity for cooling equipment
MBh
1,000 BTUh 100,000 BTU
Therm
1 Therm = 100,000 BTU (or 100 CF or 0.1 MCF) 1 CF = 1 cubic foot (= approximately 1,000 BTU)
CF
Quantity of natural gas Quantity of natural gas Quantity of natural gas
CCF MCF
1 CCF = 100 cubic feet
1 MCF = 1,000 cubic feet (or 10 CCF or 10 Therms)
