Pferdestarke
The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.
History/Origin
The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
Btu (It)/hour
Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of British thermal units (IT) transferred per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit used in the United States and was standardized for industrial and engineering purposes. The per-hour notation became common in applications requiring power measurement, especially in heating and cooling systems.
Current Use
Btu/h is widely used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to specify the capacity of heating and cooling equipment, as well as in energy analysis and thermodynamics.
