Calculating System Thermal Output
After you have calculated the power consumption for your configuration, you can use that information
to determine the system thermal output (BTUs per hour). To do so, multiply the power consumption in
watts by 3.41.
For example, in
, we calculated the power consumption for a fully configured chassis
running at high activity at 25°C typical temperature to be 240 W. Using that information, we can
calculate the system thermal output for the configuration:
Power consumption in watts * 3.41 = system thermal output in BTU/hr
240 W * 3.41 = 818.4 BTU/hr
