Unit Description
Metric Horsepower (PS)
Definition
Metric horsepower (PS) is a unit of power equal to 75 kilogram-force meters per second, approximately 735.5 watts. It's the metric equivalent of horsepower, used primarily in European automotive and mechanical applications.
History
Metric horsepower was developed as a metric alternative to the imperial horsepower unit. It became standard in European automotive and mechanical industries, providing a power unit consistent with metric measurements while maintaining familiarity with the horsepower concept.
Current Use
Metric horsepower is used in European automotive specifications, mechanical equipment ratings, and industrial machinery. It's standard for European car engine ratings, machinery specifications, and mechanical power systems in metric countries.
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.
