26 tons of ice from and at 0°C is produced per day in an ammonia refrigerator. The temperature range in the compressor is from 26°C to -15°C. The vapour is dry and saturated at the end of compression. Assuming actual COP is 62% of theoretical, calculate the power required to drive the compressor. Take latent heat of ice 335 kJ/kg.
