About Kilocalorie per Hour-Square Meter-Celsius (kcal/(hr·m²·°C))
A legacy metric unit of heat-transfer coefficient (1 kcal/(hr·m²·°C) = 1.163 W/(m²·K)) that persists in older European engineering literature — particularly German, French, and Italian HVAC and process-plant documentation from before SI was fully adopted. Still occasionally seen on older heat-exchanger nameplates.
About Calorie per Second-Square Centimeter-Celsius (cal/(s·cm²·°C))
A CGS unit of heat-transfer coefficient (= 41,840 W/(m²·K)) mostly found in older chemistry and thermochemistry literature. Very large unit; rarely used today because most engineering has converged on W/(m²·K) or BTU/(hr·ft²·°F).
