A vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using ammonia as working fluid has a refrigerating capacity is 150 kW. Ammonia exits the evaporator as saturated vapor at - 22°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 16 bar and 160°C, and saturated liquid exits at 16 bar. Determine the brake power input to the compressor if the overall efficiency is 85%, kW.
