Calculate your heat output today!
Formula:
The Watts to Heat Calculator uses the following formulas to determine various heat measurements from electrical power:
- Total Heat Energy (Joules):
E = P × t
Where:E= Total Heat Energy in Joules (J)P= Electrical Power in Watts (W)t= Time in seconds (s)
- Heat Output Rate (BTU/hr):
BTU/hr = P × 3.41214
Where:P= Electrical Power in Watts (W)- (Conversion factor: 1 Watt ≈ 3.41214 BTU/hr)
- Heat Output Rate (kcal/hr):
kcal/hr = P × 0.859845
Where:P= Electrical Power in Watts (W)- (Conversion factor: 1 Watt ≈ 0.859845 kcal/hr)
These formulas allow you to calculate the total energy produced as heat over a period, as well as the continuous rate of heat output in common thermal units.
