What does 1 calorie (th)/minute represent?

It represents power equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, quantifying a rate of heat or energy transfer.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to Btu (th)/hour?

This conversion helps translate smaller-scale heat transfer measurements into widely used units in HVAC and thermal engineering for easier specification and comparison.

Where is Btu (th)/hour commonly used?

It is frequently used in sizing heating and cooling equipment, specifying heat output of boilers and heat exchangers, and in building energy load calculations.
