Converting from Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h) to Kilowatt (kW) | Power

What is Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)

Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power commonly used in the context of thermal energy production or consumption. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius in one hour.

What is Kilowatt (kW)

Kilowatt (kW) is a standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 1,000 watts and is commonly used to measure electrical power generation, consumption, or transmission.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h) and Kilowatt (kW) can be done using the following formulas:

1. To convert from Kilocalorie per Hour to Kilowatt:

kW=kcal/h×0.001163

2. To convert from Kilowatt to Kilocalorie per Hour:

kcal/h=kW×859.8452

Examples

1. Converting 15 kcal/h to kW:

15kcal/h=15×0.001163=0.017445kW

2. Converting 7 kW to kcal/h:

7kW=7×6018.917=6018.917kcal/h

3. Converting 4 kcal/h to kW:

4kcal/h=4×0.001163=0.004652kW

By using the above conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Kilocalorie per Hour and Kilowatt units in power calculations.
