What does a deciwatt represent?

A deciwatt is a power unit equal to one tenth of a watt, used to measure low power levels in scientific and engineering applications.

Where is kilocalorie (IT) per hour commonly used?

It is commonly used to specify heating or cooling capacity in HVAC systems and to express metabolic energy rates.

Can this conversion be applied to all calorie definitions?

No, this conversion assumes the International-Table kilocalorie and may not be accurate with other definitions or different time units.
