What does one deciwatt represent?

One deciwatt is a power unit equal to one tenth of a watt, commonly used for low-level power measurements in electronics and scientific contexts.

When would I need to convert deciwatt to MBtu (IT)/hour?

This conversion is useful for relating small electrical power figures to thermal power rates often needed in HVAC, industrial heating, and energy management.

Are there any challenges in converting deciwatt to MBtu (IT)/hour?

Yes, because of the large difference in scale, the resulting values are very small and require careful numerical handling to maintain accuracy.
