Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 0.1163 daW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to dekawatt, multiply the value by 0.1163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 8.59845227859 kcal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kcal/h = 0.1163 daW
- 1 daW = 8.59845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 1.163 daW
- 100 kcal/h = 11.63 daW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Dekawatt
1 kcal/h = 0.1163 daW
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to daW:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 0.1163 daW = 1.7445 daW

Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
