What does one calorie (th)/second represent in terms of energy transfer?

One calorie (th)/second represents the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, where one calorie (th) equals exactly 4.184 joules.

Why is converting calorie (th)/second to Btu (IT)/minute useful?

Converting these units translates thermal power values from older or laboratory calorie-based units to British thermal unit-based units commonly used in engineering and HVAC, aiding compatibility and calculations.

What applications commonly use Btu (IT)/minute as a power unit?

Btu (IT)/minute is used in rating heat output for boilers, burners, and heat exchangers and specifying capacities for large HVAC and refrigeration equipment.
