∙ 15y agoBTU is short for British Thermal Unit. 1 BTU is the heat required to raise 1 lb of water by 1 degF. So it is a quantity of heat, which is equivalent to a quantity of energy, in fact 1 BTu = 1.055 kilojoules, so 1 BTU/second = 1.055 kilowatts. This is called the mechanical equivalent of heat.

Are MBH and BTU the same?
BTU means" british thermal unit " and is a measure of energy like kWh or Joules. BTU is often used in air conditioning. Btuh or btu/hr is a measure of power like kW and is also used in air conditioning and heating applications. Often "btu" will be used in a lazy shorthand for btu/hr. MBH is shorthand for 1000 btu/hr.

What does BTHhr mean?
I think you may mean BTU/hr. BTU means British Thermal Unit which is defined as the heat to raise 1 lb of water by 1 degF, so BTU/hr would mean so many BTU's per hour, which is a rate of energy flow. Home heating boilers are often rated in BTU/hr though they may more recently be rated in Kilowatts. 100,000 BTU/hr = 29.3 Kw.
