Mbh
MBH (Thousand British Thermal Units per Hour) is a unit of power used to measure the heat output of heating and cooling systems, equivalent to 1,000 BTU per hour.
History/Origin
The MBH unit originated in the HVAC industry as a practical way to quantify large heating and cooling capacities, especially in commercial applications, aligning with the British thermal unit (BTU) system used in the United States.
Current Use
Today, MBH is commonly used in the HVAC industry to specify the capacity of boilers, furnaces, and air conditioning units, facilitating standardized communication of heating and cooling power in commercial and industrial settings.
Calorie (It)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
