- 1 kcal/h = 0.00155856567302 hp
- 1 × 0.00155856567302 = 0.00155856567302 hp
How to convert kilocalories per hour to horsepower
1 kcal/h = 0.00155856567302 hp, so multiply by 0.00155856567302 to go from kilocalories per hour to horsepower (mechanical, 550 ft·lbf/s). Going the other way, 1 hp = 641.615568283 kcal/h.
hp = kcal/h × 0.00155856567302 kcal/h = hp × 641.615568283
Worked example:
1 kcal/h = 0.00155856567302 hp 5 × 0.00155856567302 = 0.00779282836509 hp
