What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, specifically one thermochemical kilocalorie of heat per hour.

What is the definition of horsepower in this converter?

Horsepower here refers to the mechanical or imperial horsepower, defined as 550 foot-pounds per second, approximately 745.7 watts.

Can I use this conversion for exact power equivalence?

This conversion provides approximate equivalence for comparison but does not address differences in energy types between thermal and mechanical power.

Examples

Convert 100 kilocalorie (th)/hour to horsepower: results in approximately 0.156 horsepower.
Convert 500 kilocalorie (th)/hour to horsepower: results in around 0.779 horsepower.

Common Use Cases

Evaluating heat output ratings of heaters and cooking devices in HVAC specifications.
Comparing thermal power of small refrigeration or heat exchange systems with engine power.
Rating output power of automotive and motorcycle engines for specification or marketing.
Specifying power ratings for electric motors and pumps in product data sheets.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which horsepower standard applies if precision is required, as variants exist.
Remember kilocalorie (th)/hour measures thermal energy transfer rate, differing from mechanical power forms.
Use this converter for approximate equivalence in power rating comparisons across domains.
Ensure consistent unit usage when documenting or communicating power values.

Limitations

Different horsepower variants may lead to variations in exact conversion results.
Kilocalorie (th)/hour specifically relates to thermal power, so conversion assumes power equivalence without reflecting energy form differences.
