What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/hour represent?

It is a unit of power equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie of energy transferred per hour, indicating the rate of heat flow.

How is hectojoule/second related to watts?

One hectojoule/second equals 100 joules per second, and since one joule per second equals one watt, 1 hJ/s equals 100 watts.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to hectojoule/second?

To translate thermal power values from legacy heat flow units into a more standard SI-related power measurement useful in electrical and mechanical applications.
