What does kilojoule/kilogram/°C measure?

It measures the heat energy in kilojoules required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

When should I use CHU/pound/°C units?

CHU/pound/°C is used when working with mass measured in pounds while tracking temperature changes in degrees Celsius, especially in thermal calculations involving imperial units.

How does the conversion between these units work?

The converter applies a fixed factor where 1 kJ/kg/°C equals approximately 0.2388458966 CHU/(lb*°C).

Can this converter be used for heating system design?

Yes, it is useful for estimating energy requirements in heating, cooling, and thermal storage applications.
