What does one fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It represents the energy released by burning one kiloliter (1,000 liters) of a designated reference fuel oil, used to convert fuel volumes into energy measures.

Why is kilowatt-second used as an energy unit?

Kilowatt-second measures energy delivered by one kilowatt of power over one second, useful in engineering for short-duration energy evaluations.

Can I use this conversion for long-term energy consumption?

Kilowatt-second is primarily for short bursts of energy; for long-term consumption, converting to units like kilowatt-hours is recommended.
