cooling energy comparison

[brum]

im doing a presentation on chiller systems. I wanna convey to my audience the meaning of 1500 kW of cooling. Can some one tell me what for example 1500 kW of cooling could be compared to ...something like "this amount of cooling energy could be used to make this many ice cubes in this amount of time" ...or something along those lines ....doesnt have to be ice cubes

 

Any help or links to useful sites would be appreciated

Well, what you could do is as follows:

 

Q=mcT+mLf

Q=Pt

 

m=mass of water/ice thats converted

c=specific heat capacity of water (4.186x10^3 J*kg^-1*C^-1)

T=temperature change of the liquid water

Lf=latent heat of fusion of water (3.33x10^5 J*kg^-1)

 

P=power (1.5x10^6W in this case)

t=time

 

Then you should be able to solve for m, and there you go.

 

Hope this helps,
