About this latent heat converter
Convert latent heat units for melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, refrigeration, steam tables, and phase-change thermal storage.
Latent heat is energy per unit mass for a phase change, so its units do not include a temperature difference.
Units covered
Latent heat units
J/kg, kJ/kg, cal/g, kcal/kg, BTU/lb, kJ/g, and MJ/kg.
Phase-change work
Useful for vaporization, fusion, condensation, freezing, and refrigeration cycle calculations.
HVAC and steam
Converts between SI and BTU/lb values commonly found in HVAC and steam references.
How to use it
- Enter the latent heat value.
- Choose the unit used by your source table.
- Convert to the unit required for your mass, heat load, or HVAC calculation.
