What does decijoule per second measure?

A decijoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to 0.1 watt, suitable for small power levels.

Why use kilocalorie (th)/hour as a unit?

Kilocalorie (th)/hour quantifies heat flow per hour and is commonly used in HVAC and thermal appliance specs.

Can this conversion be used for large power values?

No, decijoule per second is designed for relatively low power levels, making it impractical for large-scale power measurements.
