What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour is a power unit quantifying the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour, often used in small-scale thermal applications.

Where is Btu (IT)/minute commonly used?

Btu (IT)/minute is used for quantifying thermal power in engineering, HVAC, and industrial contexts such as rating heat output of boilers and cooling capacities.

Why convert between calorie (th)/hour and Btu (IT)/minute?

Conversion is needed to translate small-scale thermal power data from thermochemical calorie units to larger, industrial-scale imperial units used in engineering and HVAC.
