What does 1 Btu (IT)/second represent?

It represents the power corresponding to one International Table British thermal unit of energy transferred per second, a rate of heat transfer or energy conversion.

Why convert Btu (IT)/second to calorie (th)/minute?

To express heat transfer rates in a smaller unit suitable for laboratory measurements, metabolic rate analysis, or low-rate heating experiments.

Can this conversion be used in HVAC system design?

Yes, it helps bridge industrial-scale heat transfer metrics to finer energy transfer measurements used in HVAC and scientific research.
