What does horsepower (boiler) measure?

Horsepower (boiler) measures the rate of heat required to evaporate 34.5 pounds of water per hour at 100°C, representing boiler steam capacity.

What is a kilocalorie (th)/minute?

It is a unit of power representing the thermal energy transfer rate equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute.

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

To express boiler capacity in a thermal energy rate compatible with other heat measurement units used in physiology, calorimetry, and heating equipment.
