When calculating thermal power of the heating equipment stand-alone units, derivative of calories are most often used (kilocalories, megacalories, gigacalories, etc.). While in the International System of Units of measurement of SI for measurement of power including thermal, is recommended to use watt and its derivatives (kilowatts, megawatts, gigawatts, etc.). These units are connected among themselves by constant coefficient which should be used for converting.
Instruction
1. Multiply the value measured in gigacalories by the coefficient equal 1.163 to transfer thermal power to megawatts.
2. Use online converters of units of measure as the fastest way of recalculation of gigacalories in megawatts. For example, pass to the http://convert-me.com/ru/convert/power page, in the field of "kilocalories per hour", placed in the sections "SGS and Stand-alone Units", enter the size measured in gigacalories and click the Count button or just press a tabulation key. The value of the size entered by you in megawatts can be seen, and if necessary and to copy, in the field of "megawatts", placed above - in the section "International System (SI)".
3. There is less easy way of recalculation of gigacalories in megawatts - to use any online calculator. For example, it is possible to use the calculators who are built in Google search engines or Nigma. Having passed to the website of the chosen searcher, enter the necessary mathematical operation in the field of a search query. For example, if necessary to transfer the value equal to 2.47 gigacalories to megawatts, the search query should be formulated so: "2.47*1.163". After input of inquiry in the Google search engine it is not required to press the button of sending it on the server, and when using the Nigma calculator it is necessary.
4. Use the program calculator which is built in the Windows operating system in case of lack of Internet access. It can be started, having opened the main menu click on the Start-up button, having selected the Implement clause, then having entered the calc team and having clicked the OK button. The interface of the calculator duplicates standard buttons of ordinary calculators therefore operations of input of the known size in gigacalories and multiplication it on number 1.163 should not cause any difficulties.
