The rating the manufacturer gives is in boiler horsepower, which is the power required to boil 34.5 pounds of water in 1 hour at atmospheric pressure and is about 10000 Watts and a Watt is about 3 BTU/hr, so 1 boiler hp is roughly 30000 BTU/hr, giving about 60 boiler hp for a boiler with a duty of about 1,800,000 BTU/hr (I said duty).
The conversion site is using the standard definition of a hp, which is about 750 Watts, or about 2400 BTU/hr. 1,800,000 BTU/hr divided by 2400 BTU/hr is about 750 hp.
Thanks dude.
