What does kilocalorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures power as the rate of heat transfer using thermochemical kilocalories per hour, commonly applied in HVAC and appliance heating ratings.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT)/minute?

To express energy transfer rates based on International Table kilocalories per minute, often used in metabolic studies and food-energy thermal applications.

Is this conversion suitable for variable power outputs?

No, it assumes steady-state rates and does not account for transient or varying power levels.
