English term or phrase: input capacity
"Two exit access doorways are required in boiler, incinerator and furnace rooms where the area is over 500 square feet (46 m2) and any fuel-fired equipment exceeds 400,000 British thermal units (Btu) (422 000 KJ) input capacity."

Explanation:
The HVAC industry measures the capacity of heating and cooling systems with many different terms. This page presents and defines the most commonly used terms.

BTU (British Thermal Unit)
A BTU is the quantity of heat required to raise 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit.

BTUH (British Thermal Units per Hour)
Air conditioner cooling capacity is often measured in either BTUH or tons. 1 ton = 12,000 BTUH.

Indoor Blower Capacity
A furnace's output can be measured in several ways. One of those measures is the volume of air that passes out of the furnace and into the ductwork over a predefined span of time. This is a furnace's indoor blower capacity and it is measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm).

You may see documentation that refers to the "maximum" capacity as compared to the "default" capacity. The maximum indoor blower capacity represents the furnace's highest setting. The default capacity is the factory setting at the time that the furnace was manufactured.

A second and related measure is the amount of heat created by the furnace, measured as British Thermal Units (BTUs) or BTUH.

Input BTUH
The number of British Thermal Units per hour that the furnace or boiler consumes when running at a steady state. (That is, when it has finished startup and is running at full power.)

Boilers with an input BTUh greater than 350,000 are typically considered commercial boilers.

Ton (as a unit of cooling capacity)
A ton of cooling capacity is the amount of cooling that would be provided by melting a ton of ice. Thus, a central air conditioning system that is rated as a 2-ton system would provide the same cooling as melting two tons of ice per day (24-hour period).

Ton vs BTU

A ton is equal to 12,000 BTUs. Thus, a 2-ton air conditioner is equivalent to a 24,000 BTU air conditioner.

Nominalna moc cieplna to wielkość zawarta również w specyfikacji technicznej kotła. Jest to energia, jaką wprowadzamy do kotła z paliwem (gaz/węgiel/olej) np. wyliczona z kaloryczności węgla (kJ) / czas w jakim został spalony (s).
