What does 1 dekajoule per second represent?

It is an SI-derived power unit equal to 10 joules per second or 10 watts, measuring the rate of energy transfer.

Why convert from dekajoule/second to Btu (th)/hour?

This conversion helps translate SI-based power values into traditional thermal units often used in HVAC and heating system design.

Can this converter handle transient power measurements?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state power and does not account for transient effects.
