1 Megawatt = 3412141.6331 BTU/hour
Key Formulas
Kilowatt → Horsepower (mech)
hp = kW × 1.34102Horsepower (mech) → Kilowatt
kW = hp × 0.7457Watt → Kilowatt
kW = W × 0.001Kilowatt → Watt
W = kW × 1000Formula
BTU/h = MW × 3412140One megawatt equals 3,412,140 BTU per hour. Since 1 MW = 1,000,000 W and 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h, multiplying gives 3,412,140. Used in large HVAC and industrial heating.
