how many btu does a 125 hp boiler produce on #2 oil
BHP on a ship is a U.S. thermal unit of measurement, and stands for "Boiler Horsepower". One BHP unit is equivalent to 33,475 BTU (British Thermal Units).
Personaly I installed two boilers rather then one big one. I would imagine how many BTU out put you need that would dictate what size boiler one needed as one size does not fit all applications
The formula for this question is ... horse power = btu / 2545 Therefore 1 / 2545 = .0003929 hp
No, 1 horsepower is equivalent to approximately 2545 BTUs. So 9000 BTUs is roughly equivalent to about 3.5 horsepower.
This is a power unit conversion from British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr.) to its equivalent in horsepower (hp). There are 2544.43 btu/hr. in one horsepower. Conversely, there are 0.000393 hp in one Btu/hr.
You do not mention how much you want to heat the water and in what period of time. But here are the figures: 1 btu = temperature increase of 1* F of 1 pound of water. One gallon of water weighs 8.33 lbs. So a boiler with an output rating of 2,332,400 btu will raise the temperature 1*F in 1 hour. (280,000x 8.33). Boiler outputs are rated in btu per hour . how many btu does it take to heat 15lb of water from 100 degrees F to 129 degrees F?
1000000
one btu
There are approximately 0.00094781712 BTU in one joule.
there is 3412 btu's to 1 kilowatt
One BTU per second is 1.434 hp
