What does kilocalorie (th)/kilogram/°C represent?

It is a specific heat capacity unit indicating the heat needed in thermochemical kilocalories to raise 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

When should I use CHU/pound/°C units?

Use CHU/pound/°C when mass is reported in pounds with heat capacity measured per degree Celsius, common in imperial system applications like HVAC and food processing.

Are temperature increments in °C equivalent to those in K for conversion?

Yes, this conversion assumes that a temperature change of 1 °C is equivalent to a change of 1 K.
