Conversion Factors

Conversion Factors: The following factors enable you to convert between different energy units. 1 therm = 100,000 btu's

BTU = 252.5 c or 0.252 C

Kilowatt Hour (KWH) = 3413 BTU

Horsepower-hours = 1.341 KWH

Propane, gallon = 92,500 BTU*

Gasoline, gallon = 125,000 BTU*

Kerosene, gallon = 135,000 BTU*

Diesel oil, gallon = 138,700 BTU*

Fuel Oil, gallon No. 5 = 148, 000 BTU*

*This is an approximate value typically used for this conversion. Because these are average values, the exact BTU content varies with type and source, it is important to contact the supplier when accuracy is important.

British Thermal Unit (BTU): Energy needed to Raise l pound water 1o Fahrenheit (F)

varies by location 100,000 btu 200,000 btu/hr

How it works. The air is drawn out of a large room or building and blown into a 4' X 8' heating panel. The air is then channeled through the panel with baffles causing it to heat up more as it rises to the top of the panel. Below you can see the channels where the air travels through.

This is with the mirrors.

Below is the appox angle of the sun in Decmeber in Minnesota. Mine is angled a little more. I can catch more sunlight in more months then if it was directly facing the sun in December. From my experience I can get more heat from the Solar Clam TM and the sun angled this way.
