What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms heat transfer coefficient units from kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C into Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F. It helps translate thermal performance parameters between two imperial measurement systems using different energy, time, area, and temperature units.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the heat transfer coefficient value in kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C
- Choose the conversion to Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in the target unit
- Use the result for HVAC design, heat loss calculations, or thermal performance assessments
Key Features
- Converts heat transfer coefficient units between kcal (IT)/h·ft²·°C and Btu (IT)/s·ft²·°F
- Supports HVAC, refrigeration, and building energy modeling needs
- Handles differences in time and temperature scales automatically
- Provides exact conversion based on international-table definitions
- Browser-based and simple to use without software installation
Examples
- 5 Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C equals 0.003061976 Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F
- 10 Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C equals 0.006123952 Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F
Common Use Cases
- Specifying overall heat transfer coefficients (U-values) for building materials in HVAC calculations
- Sizing heating and cooling loads with energy units in kcal (IT) and imperial area units
- Comparing convective heat transfer coefficients from experiment data reported in kcal (IT)/h·ft²·°C
- Rating heat exchangers and coated surfaces using Btu (IT)/s·ft²·°F units
- Calculating heat loss or gain through building components using US customary units
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure input values are steady-state heat transfer coefficients without transient effects
- Always confirm the energy and temperature unit definitions before converting
- Use the tool to facilitate cross-region HVAC design where unit systems differ
- Verify inputs are based on international-table calorie and Btu definitions for consistency
Limitations
- Conversion involves different units of temperature and time which must be accounted for carefully
- Precision relies on consistent international-table unit definitions for kilocalorie and Btu
- Assumes steady-state heat transfer, not suitable for transient or dynamic thermal conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do the conversion units involve different temperature scales?
- The units convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, reflecting the difference in how temperature intervals are measured in the two systems.
- Can this conversion be used for transient heat transfer calculations?
- No, the tool is designed for steady-state heat transfer coefficients and does not account for transient thermal effects.
- What industries commonly use these unit conversions?
- HVAC engineering, building energy modeling, refrigeration design, and thermal performance analysis commonly require these conversions.
Key Terminology
- Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C
- A unit of heat transfer coefficient indicating heat flow through one square foot per hour per degree Celsius using international-table kilocalories.
- Btu (IT)/second/square foot/°F
- An imperial unit measuring heat power transferred through one square foot per second for a 1 °F temperature difference.
- Heat Transfer Coefficient
- A value expressing how much heat passes through a unit area per unit temperature difference over time.
