What does 1 kilocalorie (th)/minute represent?

It is a power unit measuring the rate of thermal energy transfer equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie delivered per minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (th)/minute to Btu (th)/hour?

This conversion is useful for translating thermal power from physiological or calorimetry measurements into engineering units commonly used in HVAC and heating system design.

Can this converter be used for electrical power conversions?

No, it is designed specifically for thermochemical thermal power units and is not suitable for mechanical or electrical power unit conversions.
