Why convert calorie (th)/hour to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting to kilocalorie (th)/hour simplifies expressing heat rates by scaling to a larger unit, making calculations for bigger systems or sums more manageable.

Are calorie (th)/hour and kilocalorie (th)/hour SI units?

No, both are non-SI units used mainly in specific contexts like HVAC or calorimetry, while watts are the preferred SI unit for power.

When should I prefer using watts over calorie units?

Watts offer standardized precision and are recommended for scientific work where accurate and consistent thermal power measurement is critical.
