What is a kilocalorie (th)/second?

It is a unit of power measuring heat transfer rate equal to one thermochemical kilocalorie per second, used to quantify thermal power or heat flow rate.

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

Converting these units helps express heat transfer rates in formats compatible with HVAC and industrial thermal system standards, aiding equipment rating and thermal load calculations.

Can this conversion be used for electrical power units?

No, these units apply only to thermal power and are not directly interchangeable with electrical power without extra conversion factors.
