What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat energy transfer of one International Table calorie per second, indicating thermal power.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/second to calorie (IT)/hour?

Converting to calorie (IT)/hour allows for expressing heat-transfer rates over longer, smaller-scale time periods for detailed analysis.

Can I use calorie (IT)/hour for high power thermal systems?

Using calorie (IT)/hour for very high power measurements is not practical due to its smaller unit size.
