About Converting BTU per hour to Deciwatts
BTU per hour and Deciwatt both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Power rate using BTU per hour, and deciwatt is 0.1 watt units.
Formula
deciwatts = btu per hour × 2.93071070172
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 btu per hour equals 0.293071070172 base units, and 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct btu per hour-to-deciwatt factor of 2.93071070172.
Simple example
1 BTU/h × 2.930710702 = 2.930710702 dW
1 btu per hour = 2.930710702 deciwatts.
Real-world example
100 BTU/h × 2.930710702 = 293.0710702 dW
100 btu per hour = 293.0710702 deciwatts.
