  1. 1 W = 0.860420650096 kcal/h
  2. 1 × 0.860420650096 = 0.860420650096 kcal/h

How to convert watts to kilocalories per hour

1 W = 0.860420650096 kcal/h, so multiply by 0.860420650096 to go from watts to kilocalories per hour. Going the other way, 1 kcal/h = 1.16222222222 W.

kcal/h = W × 0.860420650096
W = kcal/h × 1.16222222222

Worked example:

1 W = 0.860420650096 kcal/h
5 × 0.860420650096 = 4.30210325048 kcal/h
