To convert a measurement in kilocalories per hour to a measurement in kilowatts, multiply the power by the following conversion ratio: 0.001162 kilowatts/kilocalorie per hour.

Since one kilocalorie per hour is equal to 0.001162 kilowatts, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilowatts = kilocalories per hour × 0.001162

The power in kilowatts is equal to the power in kilocalories per hour multiplied by 0.001162.

For example, here's how to convert 500 kilocalories per hour to kilowatts using the formula above.
kilowatts = (500 kcal/h × 0.001162) = 0.581111 kW

Kilocalories per hour and kilowatts are both units used to measure power. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Are Kilocalories per Hour?

One kilocalorie per hour is equal to one kilocalorie, or 1,000 times the energy needed to heat one gram of water 1 °C, for one hour.

Kilocalories per hour can be abbreviated as kcal/h; for example, 1 kilocalorie per hour can be written as 1 kcal/h.

In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.

What Is a Kilowatt?

One kilowatt is the power equal to 1,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000 joules per second.

The kilowatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilowatts can be abbreviated as kW; for example, 1 kilowatt can be written as 1 kW.
