What does one kilocalorie (th)/second represent in watts?

One kilocalorie (th)/second equals exactly 4184 watts, measuring thermal power or heat flow rate.

When should I use centijoule per second as a unit?

Centijoule per second is ideal for showing very small steady power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, such as sensors or low-power devices.

Why might conversions between these units involve large numbers?

Because there is a significant scale difference, converting from kilocalorie (th)/second to centijoule/second results in very large numerical values.
