I believe boilers are rated in HP. It has nothing to do with amperage in this case.Have a temp boiler that needs power. Says 250HP but not sure that HP( where I need to convert to amps) pertains to the actually power we will need for it. True?
The kW here would be heating kW.One Boiler Horsepower (1BHP) is equal to a bolier thermal output of 33 475 BTU/h (British Thermal Units per Hour) or 9.81055407 kW (Kilowatts).
That conversion would make the output 2250kW“Boiler HP” is a boiler’s ability to produce steam, which when fed to a steam engine would produce 1HP of mechanical energy. It’s unrelated to electrical motor HP.
