What does kilocalorie (th) represent in energy measurement?

Kilocalorie (thermochemical) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 thermochemical calories and exactly 4,184 joules, commonly used for food energy and in thermal/chemical engineering contexts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th) to fuel oil equivalent per kiloliter?

This conversion helps express energy originally measured in calories as an equivalent volume-based energy measure suitable for fuel energy management and engineering comparisons.

Are there any limitations to this conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes a fixed reference fuel oil with specific energy content, and variations in fuel quality or composition may affect precision.
