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.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
