What does one horsepower (boiler) represent?

It is the thermal power needed to evaporate 34.5 pounds of water per hour at 212°F and is standardized as 33,475 BTU/h.

How is kilocalorie (IT)/minute used in energy measurement?

It measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie delivered or consumed each minute, often used for metabolic or small-scale heating applications.

Can this converter be used for comparing steam boiler capacities with human energy expenditure?

Yes, it translates boiler steaming capacity into energy transfer rates comparable to nutritional and physiological energy units.
