What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer of one thermochemical kilocalorie per hour, quantifying heat flow rate.

Why use joule per minute instead of watts?

Joule per minute is useful when energy transfer rates are averaged over minutes rather than seconds, providing convenient minute-scale reporting.

Where is this conversion commonly applied?

It is used in HVAC specifications, appliance testing, chemical calorimetry, and energy reporting for low-power devices and sensors.
