What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat flow, representing thermochemical kilocalories transferred per hour, commonly used in HVAC and small appliance specifications.

When should I use gigajoule/second units?

Gigajoule/second is used for describing very large continuous power levels such as electrical output from large power plants or thermal outputs from industrial boilers.

Why are conversions from kilocalorie (th)/hour to gigajoule/second so small?

Because kilocalorie (th)/hour represents small-scale heat power, while gigajoule/second quantifies extremely large power levels, making the converted values very tiny.
