About Converting Deciwatts to BTU per hour
Deciwatt and BTU per hour 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: Deciwatt is 0.1 watt units, and power rate using BTU per hour.
Formula
btu per hour = deciwatts × 0.341214163313
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, and 1 btu per hour equals 0.293071070172 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciwatt-to-btu per hour factor of 0.341214163313.
Simple example
1 dW × 0.3412141633 = 0.3412141633 BTU/h
1 deciwatt = 0.3412141633 btu per hour.
Real-world example
100 dW × 0.3412141633 = 34.12141633 BTU/h
100 deciwatts = 34.12141633 btu per hour.
