Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 0.01163 hW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to hectowatt, multiply the value by 0.01163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 85.9845227859 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 = 0.01163 hW
- 1 hW = 85.9845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 0.1163 hW
- 100 kcal/h = 1.163 hW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Hectowatt
1 kcal/h = 0.01163 hW
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to hW:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 0.01163 hW = 0.17445 hW

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.
Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
