Explanation
watts and BTU per hour are units of power. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 watts = 3.4121416351 BTU per hour, and 1 BTU per hour = 0.29307107 watts. Because one BTU per hour represents a smaller amount than one watts, the numeric value gets larger in this direction.
