my induction burner rated at 2200 watts is that the equvlent of a 22000 btu burner or is it more half that just curious cuse manual doesnt?

Question

say and have nothing to measure heat agianst water does seem to boil faster on high settings than old stove the burners of that stove were only 9000 btu burners any way to tell

dtstellwagen · Answer

Electricity produces 3.412 btu's per watt, so those burners are likely nominally 7500 btu burners. If your old 9600 btu burners heated slower I would suspect that either the switch or a high temp limit sensor was cycling and limiting the heat output. Also the surface of the new burners may be smoother or made of a material that transfers heat better.

2200 thermal watts is not equal to 22000 btu / hour.  Your "22000 btu burner" is actually a "22000 btu / hour burner".  Since 1 thermal watt is 3.42 btu / hour or there are 3.42 (btu / hr)/(thermal watt), then 2200 thermal watts is (2200 thermal watts)*[3.42 (btu / hr)/(thermal watt)] = 7,520 btu / hour.  This assumes your induction burner rate of 2200 is the thermal watts it puts out, NOT the electrical watts it consumes as some of the electrical watts consumed are not transferred to thermal watts (because no burner is 100 % efficient).

no....
the induction burner produces around 7500 BTU/hour BUT it puts far more energy into the pan (lots of heat from other stove types will just heat the air not the pan)

while its less total power more power is going to heating the water (almost all 2200 watts will heat the water vs 20-50% of a standard stove rating)
