Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 11.63 dW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to deciwatt, multiply the value by 11.63; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.0859845227859 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 = 11.63 dW
- 1 dW = 0.0859845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 116.3 dW
- 100 kcal/h = 1163 dW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Deciwatt
1 kcal/h = 11.63 dW
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to dW:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 11.63 dW = 174.45 dW

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.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
