Ice Plant Computation

The document provides an ice plant flow diagram and calculations. It calculates the required compressor size and power based on mass flow rates and enthalpies at different temperatures. It then sizes key components like the freezing tank, number of ice cans produced, length of evaporator coils, and determines the coefficient of performance is 2.024.
