What does calorie (th)/second represent?

It is a power unit indicating the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second, commonly used in heat flow measurements.

How is kilocalorie (th)/hour different from calorie (th)/second?

Kilocalorie (th)/hour measures thermal power over an hour and equals one thousand thermochemical calories per hour, used for longer duration heat flow rates.

Why convert between these units?

Converting helps express thermal power in units suited for specific applications, especially when dealing with legacy data and equipment specifications.
