Unit Description
Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)
Definition
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilocalorie per hour. It's commonly used in heating and cooling applications, providing a practical scale for thermal power measurements.
History
Kilocalorie per hour became important in heating and cooling system design, providing a convenient scale for thermal power measurements. It was particularly useful in applications where thermal energy rates needed to be expressed in familiar calorie-based units.
Current Use
Kilocalorie per hour is used in heating and cooling systems, thermal equipment ratings, and energy efficiency calculations. It's standard for thermal system specifications, heating equipment ratings, and applications where thermal power is measured in calorie-based units.
BTU per Second (BTU/s)
Definition
BTU per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per second. It's used in thermal engineering and HVAC applications, particularly in imperial unit systems.
History
BTU per second developed with the British Thermal Unit system and became important in thermal engineering and HVAC applications. It provided a power unit consistent with BTU energy measurements, particularly useful in heating and cooling system design.
Current Use
BTU per second is used in HVAC engineering, thermal system design, and heating/cooling applications. It's standard in imperial unit thermal calculations, boiler specifications, and air conditioning system ratings.

- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kcal/h ÷ 907.792
- Calculation: 1 kcal/h ÷ 907.792 = 0.00110157 BTU/s
Convert 10 Kilocalorie per Hour to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kcal/h = 0.00110157 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kcal/h ÷ 907.792
- Calculation: 10 kcal/h ÷ 907.792 = 0.0110157 BTU/s
Convert 100 Kilocalorie per Hour to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kcal/h = 0.00110157 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kcal/h ÷ 907.792
- Calculation: 100 kcal/h ÷ 907.792 = 0.110157 BTU/s
Convert 1,000 Kilocalorie per Hour to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 kcal/h = 0.00110157 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = kcal/h ÷ 907.792
- Calculation: 1,000 kcal/h ÷ 907.792 = 1.10157 BTU/s
