What does horsepower (boiler) measure?

Horsepower (boiler) measures the rate of heat required to evaporate a specified amount of water per hour, reflecting steaming capacity of boilers.

When is calorie (IT)/minute typically used?

Calorie (IT)/minute is used to express small, continuous heat transfer rates in laboratory settings, thermal engineering, and physiological studies.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to calorie (IT)/minute?

Converting allows expressing large industrial boiler capacities in smaller units suitable for detailed thermal analysis and cross-disciplinary comparison.
