kcal/h
kilocalorie per hour
Powerexact by definition
The kilocalorie per hour is exactly 1.163 watts, using the International Table calorie. It is the traditional heating and cooling capacity unit across southern Europe, the Middle East and much of Asia, where radiators and split units are still catalogued in kcal/h.
Watch out: The round 1.163 W comes out exactly because the IT calorie is defined as 4.1868 J. On the thermochemical calorie the figure would be 1.16222 W, a 0.07 percent difference. Air conditioning capacity in some markets is quoted in "frigorías per hour", which is a kcal/h of cooling written with a different word so it can be positive.
