I'm pricing out some different chiller options for our fermenters. I'm a little confused as some vendors often express cooling capacity in terms of HP. However, I see that different chillers have different BTU/HR ratings at any given HP.
For instance, I found one chiller that is rated at 6,000 BTU/HR using only a 4gal reservoir and 1/2 HP while other 1/2HP chillers are only rated at 3,000 BTU/HR.
Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't I be focusing on BTU/HR rather than HP?
