What does one Btu (IT)/second represent?

It represents a power unit corresponding to one International Table British thermal unit of energy transferred each second.

Why convert from Btu (IT)/second to kilocalorie (th)/second?

To facilitate comparison and integration of power ratings expressed in British thermal units with calorie-based measurements used in various engineering fields.

Are there variations in the calorie unit that affect conversion?

Yes, the specific calorie definition matters since thermochemical and International Steam Table calories differ slightly, impacting precise results.
