What is a centiwatt used for?

A centiwatt is commonly used to specify power consumption of ultra-low-power electronics, sensor nodes, small indicator LEDs, and micro-energy harvesters.

Why convert centiwatt to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting centiwatt to kilocalorie (th)/hour helps translate low electrical power readings into thermal power units used in HVAC and appliance heating assessments.

What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

Kilocalorie (th)/hour measures the rate of heat flow, representing thermochemical kilocalories transferred per hour, useful for rating heaters and thermal systems.
