If the compressor has a plate with watts use 1 watt = 3.412141633 BTU/Hr

The conversion is not direct, since watts are units of power, while BTU/Hr represents energy per hour of equipment operation. So, in this case, watts will represent the power dissipation of a product.

also use 12000 BTU = 1 ton of refrigeration

COOL picture..................
