What does 1 Btu (th)/minute represent?

It represents the rate of thermal energy flow equivalent to one thermochemical British thermal unit transferred per minute, commonly used for heating or cooling capacity.

In what contexts is calorie (IT)/second used?

This unit measures heat power based on the International Table calorie, often employed in laboratory calorimetry and older technical references.

Why is this conversion important?

It helps bridge common HVAC thermal power units with calorie-based units for compatibility in scientific analysis or historical data interpretation.
