Multiply watts by 3.415 to obtain BTU/hour. To compute the input power you
need to multiply the rms voltage, rms current and power factor. Or you can
cheat and use a wattmeter.

Subject: Heat Calculation
Hello,
Does anyone know how to compute heat dissipation for a product given
mains
power input (volts, amps, watts)?
Our spec sheets always list heat dissipation (e.g. 1,000 BTU/hour)
for
each product and I wonder where the number comes from and why it
never
changes from one product to the next.
Thanks for any comments received.
