What is a calorie (th)/second in power measurement?

A calorie (th)/second is a unit of power representing the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, equivalent to 4.184 watts.

How is horsepower (boiler) defined?

Horsepower (boiler) is a thermal power unit defining the heat required to evaporate approximately 34.5 pounds of water per hour at 212°F, standardized at about 33,475 BTU/h or 9.81 kW.

When should I use this conversion?

Use this conversion to translate laboratory or small-scale thermal power values into boiler capacity units for HVAC design, steam boiler ratings, and engineering applications.

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat flow rates in laboratory calorimetry experiments
Specifying power for small heating elements or burners in older literature
Converting legacy thermal power measurements for HVAC and process calculations
Rating capacity and performance of industrial steam boilers
Comparing boiler performance in process industries and heating plants
Analyzing historical marine and locomotive boiler specifications

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent units by understanding the thermal vs. mechanical nature of power units
Use precise decimal input to handle large differences in unit scale
Apply the conversion mainly when relating thermal power to steam generation capacity
Cross-check results especially for legacy data involving calorie-based units
Consider context differences when interpreting boiler horsepower across regions or eras

Limitations

Conversion relies on standard definitions of thermochemical calories and boiler horsepower, which may vary regionally or historically
Large scale difference between units leads to small decimal results requiring careful calculation
It is mostly relevant for thermal power and not for mechanical horsepower or other power forms
