There is no dimensionless conversion factor between the two. Alright, I am sorry I missed that. It should read: Error: you MULTIPLY 3.413 to go from watts to BTU/hr, not divide. It's be more like 154,000,000 BTU/hr, /12000 or 12,798 tons. Sorry! Sheesh. -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, [email protected], latency, Al Reuben Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net
