What are MBH and Horsepower

Definition of MBH

MBH, or thousands of BTUs per hour, represents a unit of measurement used to describe the energy or heat output of a system. It is commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry to quantify the capacity of heating systems, such as boilers and furnaces. The term 'MBH' comes from 'thousands of British Thermal Units per hour,' where one BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Thus, MBH provides a standardized way to express and compare the energy output across different systems.

Definition of Horsepower

Horsepower (HP) is a unit of measurement that quantifies power, commonly used to describe the output of engines and motors. Originating in the late 18th century, the term was coined by engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. One horsepower is equivalent to approximately 746 watts in the International System of Units (SI). It provides a convenient way to express the capability of engines and machinery, especially in automotive, aviation, and industrial contexts, offering a standardized measure of mechanical power.
