URC Device Power Dissipation in BTU's
Heat losses are the thermal emissions from an amplifier while it is operating. It comes from dissipated waste power in the form of heat. This heat output is usually measured in BTU's (British Thermal Units).
BTU's are used as a point of reference for the amount of heat that an appliance generates; the higher the BTU rating of an appliance, the greater the heating capacity. This information is useful when determining the cooling requirements in an equipment room or in a high-density rack environment.
The table below lists the various URC devices wattage (power consumption) and heat dissipation in BTU's:
