What does horsepower (boiler) represent?

It quantifies the rate of heat needed to evaporate a specific amount of water per hour at 100°C, used mainly to rate steam boilers.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting helps express boiler steaming capacity in a thermal power unit common to HVAC and small appliance specifications.

Are there any conditions needed for accurate conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes standard atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 100°C relevant to boiler definitions.
