Mbh
MBH (Thousand British Thermal Units per Hour) is a unit of power used to measure the heat output of heating and cooling systems, equivalent to 1,000 BTU per hour.
History/Origin
The MBH unit originated in the HVAC industry as a practical way to quantify large heating and cooling capacities, especially in commercial applications, aligning with the British thermal unit (BTU) system used in the United States.
Current Use
Today, MBH is commonly used in the HVAC industry to specify the capacity of boilers, furnaces, and air conditioning units, facilitating standardized communication of heating and cooling power in commercial and industrial settings.
Btu (It)/minute
Btu (IT)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (Btu) has been used historically in the United States and the UK to measure heat energy. The 'IT' designation refers to the International Table value of the Btu. The unit per minute was adopted to quantify power, which is energy transfer rate, in various engineering and thermodynamic contexts.
Current Use
Btu (IT)/minute is used in engineering, HVAC, and thermodynamics to measure heat transfer rates, especially in systems where energy flow is expressed per unit time. It is part of power conversions within the broader category of common energy and power units.
