A deciwatt is a power unit equal to one tenth of a watt (0.1 W), used for representing small power levels.

Why convert deciwatt to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting helps express low electrical power in terms of thermal power, useful for HVAC and thermal engineering applications.

Is kilocalorie (th)/hour a modern unit?

Kilocalorie (th)/hour is a legacy unit and may be less precise in systems that rely strictly on SI units.
