Description

Hello there:

I use your conversion software and found something that may be worth checking:

Try converting kcal/h into kW or W...there is a 1000 factor difference
I tried to convert 878097kcal/h into kW and obtained 1.02123kW when it should be 1021.23kW (or so I think)

I checked both with my calculator and another conversion tool (http://www.onlineconversion.com/power.htm)

Conversion Error

Alejandro,

You are correct, the factor is off by 1000.
You can easily correct that by editing the file (Crtl+E) which is a simple text document. Simply replace the kilocalorie hour factor by 1.1630000.

Thanks for spotting that one. That's a hard one to find!

Olivier
