Convert Hour-degree Celsius per kilocalorie to Minute-degree Fahrenheit per BTU

Convert Hour-degree Celsius per kilocalorie (h·°C/kcal) to Minute-degree Fahrenheit per BTU (min·°F/BTU) instantly and accurately.

Hour-degree Celsius per kilocalorie (h·°C/kcal)
Minute-degree Fahrenheit per BTU (min·°F/BTU)

Conversion Formula

min·°F/BTU = h·°C/kcal × 27.2155422

About Hour-degree Celsius per kilocalorie

The h·°C/kcal equals 3600/4186.8 K/W ≈ 0.8598 K/W. Used in pre-SI European engineering literature (French, German, Italian) for heat transfer system calculations. A boiler with 1 h·°C/kcal resistance passes 1 kcal/h per °C temperature difference. Superseded by K/W and h·°C/W in modern standards. 1 h·°C/kcal ≈ 0.8598 K/W.

About Minute-degree Fahrenheit per BTU

The minute-degree Fahrenheit per BTU (min·°F/BTU) equals (5/9 × 60)/1055.05585262 K/W ≈ 0.03159 K/W. Used in US refrigeration and air-conditioning engineering where capacity is expressed in BTU/min - 1 ton of refrigeration equals 200 BTU/min. Thermal resistance of evaporator and condenser circuits is conveniently quoted in this unit. 1 min·°F/BTU ≈ 0.03159 K/W = 60 s·°F/BTU.
