What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour measures power as the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour.

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

Converting to kilojoule/hour provides a standardized SI-derived unit facilitating comparison and consistency in heat transfer and metabolic rate data.

Is kilojoule/hour an SI unit?

Kilojoule/hour is derived from SI units and commonly used to express energy transfer rates over hours, although watt is the preferred SI unit for power.
