What does fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It represents the amount of energy released by combusting one kiloliter of a reference fuel oil, serving as a volumetric energy unit.

Why use calorie (IT) for energy conversion?

Calorie (IT) was historically used in steam-engine and thermodynamic calculations, making it useful for interpreting legacy engineering data.

Can this conversion be used for modern engineering analysis?

While possible, modern engineering typically uses joules, so this conversion is best for historical or statistical applications.
