Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode.

We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Convertion of heat input?

Hi everybody!!

I have this info:

Heat Input = 375,000 Btu/hr or 94,500 Kcal/hr (Clothes LPG Dryer Machine)

Question:
a) How many Kg of LPG that i use per hour?

b) How to convert 1 liter to gallon

Thanx for your immediate reply. :wink:

Heat content of LPG varies with percentage of ethane, butane, and other impurities, but runs about 20,000 BTU/lb or 96,000 BTU/US gallon. So you are burning almost 18 lb/hr.

If you want metric, use those numbers, and then
1 lb = 0.4536 kg
1 US gallon = 3.7854 L
