To convert a measurement in btu per hour to a measurement in kilowatts, multiply the power by the following conversion ratio: 0.000293 kilowatts/btu per hour.

Since one btu per hour is equal to 0.000293 kilowatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilowatts = btu per hour × 0.000293

The power in kilowatts is equal to the power in btu per hour multiplied by 0.000293.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 btu per hour to kilowatts using the formula above.
kilowatts = (5,000 Btu/h × 0.000293) = 1.465355 kW
