What is the BTU furnace?
BTU furnace is a unit of measurement that calculates the amount of thermal energy or thermal energy that the furnace can supply. BTU is short for the British thermal unit and is used in North America as a way of measuring energy and heat value. The BTU furnace number measures the capacity of the furnace to supply thermal power and the larger output number is a larger furnace.
The official definition for one BTU is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one pound 60 degree water by one degree at a pressure equal to one atmosphere. In most countries that use metric measurements, BTU was replaced by Joule (J). MBTU represents 1,000 BTU, while MMBTu equals 1 million BTU. The term is a term for 100,000 Btu and targets are equal to energy generated by burning about 100 cubic tracks of natural gas. And 120 000 BTU are common measurements. Looking at measuring furnace Btu of different heating and furnaces is a good way to compare the performance level when shopping. When attempting to determine the heat output, you will definitely look at the outputFurnace number btu.
In addition to BTU measurements on the furnace, you can see efficiency measurement such as 80% or 90%, emphasizing the heat output of the furnace compared to the amount of energy it requires. A more efficient furnace requires less energy to heat the house. All newer furnaces should include the input number of the BTU furnace and the output number that reflects the efficiency of the furnace. The difference between the two numbers is the amount of heat produced (input) to the amount of heat actually supplied to your home (output). Each furnace "waste" a certain amount of heat.
Several sites on the Internet are provided by Calculators to determine the needs of heating house or room. Such calculators work well to determine the measuring of the BTU needed to ensure the appropriate heating. Any company that installs a furnace should calculate the needs of heating for a home called the load calculation. However, keep in mind that load calculations may beA little complicated due to several factors, including the amount of insulation in the house, types of windows installed and house location.
