What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It is a unit of power representing the rate of heat transfer equal to one international British thermal unit per minute, commonly used in thermal and HVAC engineering.

Why convert Btu (IT)/minute to kilojoule/second?

Converting to kilojoule/second aligns with internationally recognized SI units, helping standardize thermal power data for engineering calculations and comparisons.

Is kilojoule/second the same as kilowatt?

Yes, 1 kilojoule per second is equivalent to 1 kilowatt, representing the power of 1,000 joules transferred per second.
