What is a kilocalorie per hour?
The kilocalorie per hour, about 1.163 watts, appears in older European boiler specifications and in exercise physiology. A resting adult gives off roughly 80 to 100 kcal/h, close to a 100 W light bulb.
What is a kilowatt?
The kilowatt equals 1,000 watts. It rates electric heaters, car engines outside the US, solar installations and home electrical service. Running 1 kW for one hour uses 1 kilowatt-hour of energy.
