Tips & Best Practices

Use MBH values from reliable HVAC equipment data for accurate input
Remember the calorie (IT)/hour unit expresses very small heat flow rates compared to MBH
Apply conversions primarily when bridging practical heating outputs with sensitive scientific measurements
Verify units carefully when interpreting results for engineering or laboratory use

Limitations

MBH and calorie (IT)/hour measure vastly different heat flow scales, so results can be very large or cumbersome
Precision depends on the exact definition of the International Table calorie and measurement stability
The calorie (IT)/hour is infrequent in current engineering contexts, limiting its use outside scientific environments
