What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/hour represent in power?

It is the power associated with transferring one thermochemical kilocalorie of energy per hour, roughly equivalent to about 1.162222 watts.

Why use calorie (IT)/hour for power measurements?

Calorie (IT)/hour measures small heat flow rates precisely, useful in laboratory tests, historical data interpretation, and small thermal component analyses.

Are kilocalorie (th)/hour and calorie (IT)/hour SI units?

No, both units are non-SI and may cause confusion unless used with clear context.
